New footage has emerged of a Chinese toddler smoking a cigarette in the street as he is laughed at by onlookers.
有一组萌照片新鲜出炉了：中国幼童在马路上吸烟，路人忍俊不禁。The pictures are believed to be of a child aged between two and three and despite the vast numbers of adults around, not one attempts to take the cigarette away from him.
照片中的孩子年龄应该在2岁到3岁之间，尽管周围有很多成年人看到了这一幕，但是没有人试图把烟从孩子手中拿走。Passers-by and people on bikes passing can be heard laughing as the little boy holds the cigarette, taking several puffs of it like an 'old pro'.
孩子手握香烟，行人以及骑车路过的人都被逗笑了，还有人拍了照片——照片中的孩子看上去像个迷你“老油条”。
The footage was obtained by and has sparked fresh debate about the scale of China's tobacco habit.
这些照片出现在网站上，后引发了有关中国人吸烟习惯的热议。It is thought that around 30 per cent of the population of China smokes, which equates to 300 million people, with as many as 53 per cent of adult men in the country smoking.
据悉中国大约有30%的人吸烟，即3亿烟民，成年男子约53%吸烟。However, at the end of last year, smoking in public places such as schools and hospitals was banned in the country.
然而，去年年底中国开始禁止在学校、医院等公共场合吸烟。It comes after another Chinese two-year-old, Tong Liangliang was pictured lighting up after being taught by his father, who believed the habit would alleviate pain caused by a hernia.
此前曾曝光了一张照片：2岁的童亮亮正在点烟。亮亮的爸爸认为吸烟可以减轻氙气导致的疼痛，并教会了孩子吸烟。
