推进全面控烟 保卫人民健康

Improving Carpet Smoking Ban,Protecting the Health of Residents

无论是吸烟总量,还是人均、日均吸烟水平,中国吸烟指标都高居世界各国榜首。中国已经成为名副其实的世界最大吸烟国,而吸烟也成为了危害人民健康的最大挑战。最令人担忧的是,近些年中国吸烟总量和人均指标不降反增。烟草造成整体健康爆炸性损伤、世界最大经济损失、社会负效益、我国国际形象严重受损等危害。推进全面控烟迫在眉睫。中央政府要积极出台政策法规,维护公共健康安全,履行创建公共健康环境职能。最直接的方法是:提高烟草产品价格,提高烟草税,降低烟草可负担性。之后还要形成正常加价机制,国家税收增加的部分可用于公共卫生等吸戒烟服务补助。"全面控烟保卫战",其意义毫不亚于打一场"蓝天保卫战"。

The indexes of smoking in China has been the top 1 of the world, including the total smoking, per capita and daily average smoking level. China has been the largest smoking country in the world, while smoking has become the biggest challenge for residents＇ health. Instead of decreasing, the total smoking and per capita indexes in China increased, which became a problem of concern. The total health damages, the largest international economic lost, negative social benefits and the international images were resulted by the tobacco. It is urgent to carry out the carpet smoking ban. The central government should carry out policy to secure public health and construct public health environment. Improving tobacco product prices, improving tobacco tax and decreasing the affordable tax for tobacco were the most direct method. Normal addition mechanism should be further formed. The added taxes could be applied as the assistance of public health. The significance of ＂Carpet Smoking Control Battle＂ was equal to ＂Battle for the Blue Sky＂.
