Mainland China is of primary importance to the ITC project because within it inhabits approximately 30% of all the world's smokers.  There are an estimated 350 million smokers in mainland China, which include 46% of all men and only 2% of all women being daily smokers.  The numbers are even more staggering when occasional smokers are included, with over 60% of men in mainland China being smokers.  Mainland China has ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and has strong potential for measurable change due to upcoming tobacco control policies.  Mainland China signed the FCTC on November 10, 2003.  The treaty was ratified two years later on October 11, 2005.
