Official Chinese resistance to opium was strengthened on September 20, 1906, with an anti-opium initiative intended to eliminate the drug problem within ten years. The program relied on the turning of public sentiment against opium, with mass meetings at which opium paraphernalia was publicly burned, as well as coercive legal action and the granting of police powers to organisations such as the Fujian Anti-Opium Society. Smokers were required to register for licenses for gradually reducing rations of the drug.
