Foreign social media personality, with roots in China, stirs up attention by challenging individuals caught smoking inside buildings

In the bustling city of Shanghai, a British foreigner named @alibabameAilun found himself in a troubling situation while trying to enforce a smoking ban in a local restaurant.

On July 29, @alibabameAilun, who has 87,000 followers on a short video platform, posted a video of an encounter with a Chinese man who continued to smoke despite a visible "no smoking" sign and the smoking ban in indoor public places, which has been in effect in Shanghai since 2017.

The Chinese man, not further identified, ignored the sign and the ban, leading to a confrontation with @alibabameAilun. The incident was hailed by Chinese online observers as @alibabameAilun being a "real superhero" for standing up against smoking in public places.

However, the encounter took a turn for the worse when the Chinese man attacked @alibabameAilun after the confrontation. As of now, there are no widely reported or verified updates about this incident. It's possible that this incident is either very recent, not widely covered in major news outlets, or not accurate.

The restaurant where the incident occurred is located in Shanghai, and @alibabameAilun, who resides in the city, was attempting to enforce the smoking ban that is in place to protect the health and safety of the public.

This incident is not unique, as it highlights a persistent issue with enforcing smoking bans in public places. It serves as a reminder of the challenges that come with promoting and enforcing healthy lifestyle choices in our communities.
