BEIJING - Housewife Li Jiu would check her son’s belongings every other day to make sure that he was not playing with cigarette cards, which are made by cutting up old cigarette boxes and folding them into small rectangles.
She found a few of the cards neatly placed in her son’s mathematics textbook in June and confronted the Primary 5 boy about them.
“He said a classmate had given him those cards so that they could play games with them,” said Madam Li, 37, who lives in northern Hebei province. “I told him to return the cards to his friend, and to tell me if others offer these to him again.
