Smoking is still widespread phenomenon of

smoking ban to tease you play?

The Beijing morning post

"Indoor smoking is prohibited in public places" new rules May 1st officially implemented, but according to several media interviews around, poor effect is obvious.

Alleged and public places, specific include hotels, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, game house (room), parks, exhibition, waiting (machine, ship) room, public traffic tools, but many media reporter's interview almost have the same conclusion: ban logo too little, smoking is also widespread phenomenon. How to let the ban from degenerate into dead letter? Or, smoking ban itself what areas in need of improvement?

worry

Punishment in accordance with those narcissists could not be smoking

Ban JinErBuZhi, actually unexpected; No restriction on the "forbidden", consciously to effect is unimaginable. The newly revised public hygiene management regulation implementation of the law, only stipulate public operators shall be equipped with designed (and) position for smokers to dissuade, personnel, and does not have any mandatory and penalties; An anti-smoking law enforcement team, and the take what law enforcement?

Ministry of health issued rules was lack of feasible binding provisions, the key question punishment cannot can depend on, even if local governments to come as punishment, existing of legitimacy, and secondly are all the barriers of local government have this enthusiasm, is also a problem. Moreover, only on public health administrative department in this community oriented law enforcement activities, its strength obviously difficult to expect; Urban management law enforcement make for several years, but now I have to return overdo to study its force of the legitimacy of power, it is conceivable that the health problems of the law enforcement personnel "smokers law enforcement", "said will definitely not headache.

Even in Hong Kong such citizen quality and public order level also more modern, public places where smoking is pushed by legal means; Besides Hong Kong a "non-smoking ordinance, the 2008 Hong Kong legislative council also approved the unauthorised smoking the draft of the fixed penalty fine of hk $5,000 top, and the common law enforcement unit and the police aria. The author to the Hong Kong tourist, the first time he has guide remind said: if the illegal smoking is the police found no is hk $1,500, without a ticket; But the author in port does not see days smoke in public places. Hong Kong is the effective, smoking ban the legalization.

The Chinese mainland, whether to ban the five years ago today, or promise promise to ban people without feeling, and the future not believing, have a kind of voice always thought, the problem is the powerful economic interests game of tobacco; But whatever the reason, if lack of national legislation, can't take other smoking a strength of punishment by sexual measures do so now "ban system", finally I'm afraid can only reflect a kind of attitude.

evaluation

Ban many problems do not solo combat

Smoking is actually a "cliche" problem, public smoking ban is not fresh regulations. However, from the previous similar smoking a particular area of the situation, the effect is not satisfactory. Someone ignore the ban, have management and managers to offend and pretend to be afraid of. Importantly, in the face of violations, the violation, who is to ban in accordance with the law to penalty, what punishment? These are all problems.

Health the revision and publish the "public place hygiene management regulation implementation of the law, although to indoor public places the regulations and relevant penalty smoke made specific, but still not jump out" solo combat "or" solo dash "misconduct.

First, tobacco is an economic problem. According to relevant data shows: China production and consumption global 1/3 of the cigarette. Only in 2009, China's tobacco industry generated $5131.1 billion in taxes andprofits, close to the state and commerce the financial revenues of the 10. China's tobacco industry has 5 billion asset and six million employees... From these figures, we can see that the difficulty of smoking work.

Secondly, tobacco is a cultural issues. Tobacco although originated in America, Oceania and south Pacific (601099), but some of the islands into China after turn into a rout, even formed thick smoke culture. Such as status symbols, such as masculine reflect, such as the with strong relationships need to wait. Folk circulates with a phrase: "after meal a smoke, the fairy also don't change." Visible in people's heart smoking idea how deep impact.

Smoking is the trend of The Times and morale, but not overwhelming health department alone to publish a paper ban solo dash, even can't just rely on the government introduced a law to ban smoking. Because the ban is social problems, legal issues, economic issues, but more cultural problems. Therefore, quit smoking and comprehensive ban, need the social from all walks of life together, also need countries on tobacco gradually shrinking; economic dependence Needs legal forceful, but also need to change the long-standing in people's idea of a smoking corellon thoughts and tobacco culture.

prospectie

Although does more difficult should move ahead in defiance of difficulties

Smoking in public places, not only for citizens to create a good living environment, improve public health level, but also raise the city image, important is to ban smoking in public places embodies the demands of public rights as citizens with respect. Meet However, smoking in public places, easily said but very hard to do. For example someone smoking in public places, the citizens very objectionable, but often due to the face, or have more than less about the mentality, or about by "smoked" torture by the idea of everyone, not be stopped; Some smokers there is no public not to smoke consciousness, though some have, but truly addiction control, came to lit cigarettes. More importantly, smoking in public places mainly by health supervision department responsible for the implementation of the public health management regulation implementation of the law, but indoor public places concerned range and number, health supervision department staff Labour, how law enforcement inspection? And the detailed rules "and not in indoor public places for people who smoke proposed any operable penalties of punishment, basis, there is also missing.

Ban smoking in public places have certain difficulty, but the author thought, should move ahead in defiance of difficulties and not finish rolling. Although mainly by health supervision departments shall be responsible for the implementation of the public health management regulations of the detailed rules for the implementation of smoking in public places, but many units and departments involved in society, with each unit and departments should do propaganda in place, education in place, increase public awareness of the public health consciousness and health consciousness; Relevant public places, should be posted some anti-smoking posters, posters, or erect billboards, etc, in order to show smoking to the human body, the harm environment etc, these wordless persuasion is a kind of awe education of mind. For health supervision department to do something more to overcome difficulties, such as the citizens of mutual supervision role play, play the self education function of citizens, can enhance the detailed rules "execution; Local people's congresses at various levels, formulate measures for implementation of the detailed rules "perfect, enhance operability, fittest.

Expect China smoke alarm as soon as possible to work

The result of poor for smoking, the author does not surprised. Reason is actually very simple, the new "detailed rules" exists serious policy soft rib -- this detailed rules lack of corresponding penalties. The "details" regulation, public places of business operator shall set marked their foreheads and signs banning smoking that smoking is hazardous to health, shall conduct propaganda, and equipped with designed (and) for smokers to dissuade position personnel. This is the obligation of government ban, but this rule will be transferred to public responsibility upon operators; And they just ordinary citizens, there simply is no administrative perform, how can he take on the burden of smoking? Besides, this is profit, to make money the nature of the business, and who are willing to offend those smoking customers? In addition, due to the lack of necessary punishment measures, and not many smokers will put new detailed rules, they think, anyway the eyes, off to take several teams, why not? ! These factors together, will inevitably lead to the detailed rules "have no effect.

And when our detailed rules, international words into various ban but appeared wise; One of the most dramatic, when several British. The British government put serious money into training specialized "smoke p", they will wear in public places. At plainclothes Once found someone ignores ban, smoking in public, "smoke p" shall have the right to impose on smokers in the 50 pounds penalties. As "smoke p" in Britain, smoking rates continue to drop.

In our country's ban weak, we might as well be drawn lessons from Britain's approach, also to training their smoke p. It is conceivable that when dressed in plainclothes "smoke p" opened to smokers puffed tickets will surely have serious to other smokers the deterrent effect, public smoking behavior will greatly decrease.

Learning from others, may attack jade; In Britain's "smoke p" for the ban to make a significant contribution, we expect China's "smoke p" as soon as possible to work. Colleges.through so practical measures, our "smoking ban" can land on feet.

S remind

"Small place" also want strict management

According to yesterday's qilu evening "report, new rules ban after implementation, small restaurants etc. Street stores, especially smaller huankantou sign with the hotel of the worst-hit areas. But became smoking

Small hotel was into lake pontchartrain, firstly because smoking, small hotel owner had no right to prohibit guests smoke, stop others from smoking also is only lip service. Besides, he also did not prohibit smoking motivation: if customers to let guests insisted not smoke, somebody else a walk it, let him go to earn who money?

In fact, little hotel owner's complaints are not makes no sense. Will the new rules ban ministry concerned, is only some of public undertakings of principle, which neither demand for executive body of the scope of enforcement give clear requirements, nor formulate corresponding penalties, in real lack of adequate operability. Such cases to achieve the purpose of smoking in public places, also can is "revolution" just by consciously.

In fact, in some large cities, such as domestic hangzhou, Shanghai in recent years will ban on tobacco control legislation, why problems effect is not apparent? Main reason, or it doesn't rain GanDaLei always ", "or fined for illegal smokers smoke a pack of cigarette and sometimes even less money. Serious smoking ban encountering "soft law enforcement", seems to be poking in and smokers "play". Such a situation KongWen, also will ban into for granted.
