Any smoker who can stay away from tobacco for four consecutive weeks will be chosen as candidates to take part in an international quitting smoking competition.

China has been a competition member for four years, while it's the first time for smokers in Guangzhou to join in.

Random identification checks and chemical tests are also conducted on the competitors to avoid any cheating in the competition.
