Cigarette vending, Chengdu, Sichuan Province: You know that arcade game where you try to pick up a prize by controlling a mechanical claw? Yes, in this case the prize is a packet of cigarettes… Let’s hope it’s targeted at adults! In China nearly every adult male you meet smokes. One of the favourite brands is ‘China Pride’ whose mascot is a Panda. Cute, right?
