Beijing is considering a "No Spit Day" in its attempt to establish a "Healthy Olympics, Healthy Beijing".
According to ChinaCSR (http://www.chinacsr.com/2008/03/13/2174-beijing-considers-spit-free-day/#more-2174, 3/13/2008), a representative from Beijing Municipal Health Department says that spring is the peak time for people to suffer from various respiratory diseases, and setting a special day for no spitting reinforces the importance of a sanitary lifestyle and confirms the culture's stance on the habit of spitting. A specific date for the "No Spit Day" has not been finalized.
