A mobilization meeting of "Healthy Olympics, Healthy Beijing" has issued news that Beijing will set a "No Spit Day" within the year.

A representative from Beijing Municipal Health Department says that spring is the peak time for the occurrence of various respiratory diseases, so to call for a sanitary lifestyle and remove bad habits of spitting from its citizens, the city will set a No Spit Day sometime in the next year. The detailed date for the No Spit Day is still under discussion.

Beijing has been trying to improve its environment in recent years, particularly after its winning of the bidding of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In January, the city published a rule on banning smoking in public places and began to solicit public opinions for it. Compared with the smoking ban of 1996, the new regulation lists more public places as smok-free areas.
