Comprehensive tobacco control legislation defeated Report

Interest groups too much resistance

The report notes that rectitude is the root cause of weak tobacco control, the implementation process of the tobacco industry has been strong obstacles.

In China, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and China National Tobacco Corporation is a set of two brands of men. The Ministry of Industry on the one hand is the dominant sector performance, while managing the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, the set of two opposing characters in one.

He said, "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control" is a international convention, the local government can not directly constrained, and only separate legislation, to convert it to domestic law in order to become the legal basis for binding.

But "the Convention" came into effect, the development of tobacco control laws and regulations, national legislation has not included in the plan, by 2010, more than 60 lawyers, jurists and scholars of legal workers, tobacco control coalition formed specifically to promote this process.

Keywords quit smoking help

Most of those who try to quit without any assistance

Over the past 12 months for all smokers and the doctor, over the past 12 months, giving up smoking, ask them to "see the doctor, the doctor asked about their smoking behavior, and are advised to quit." Results Liucheng smokers treatment, the doctor did not ask if they smoke, about seventy percent of people do not get smoking cessation advice. This shows that the medical staff and did not admonish patients to stop smoking as a doctor must take responsibility.

More than Jiucheng smoking cessation and quit trying to quit smoking said they did not receive any Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 battery, nor used any smoking cessation method, so the proportion of relapse is very high.

Key words warning against

Health warnings can not serve as a warning

The findings show that in the past 30 days, nearly 六成 person noted in the media or in public places smoking is hazardous to promote or encourage smoking cessation information.

Although over Bacheng cigarette smokers in China, saw the package, "Smoking is harmful to health" warnings, but more than Liucheng people quit smoking will not be considered, the current health warnings on cigarette packages can not play the basic warning and education.

Professor Yang Gonghuan introduction, five into the price of a pack of cigarettes smokers to buy 5 million and below, the cost per hundred boxes of cigarettes per capita in 2009 accounted for 2% of GDP, further proof of the price of cigarettes in China is still room for price adjustment large.

China Tobacco Control Office Director: Tobacco has a negative effective on the national

Current Situation of China's weak tobacco control, the reporter interviewed the deputy director of Chinese Center for Disease Control, Tobacco Control Office Director Yang Gonghuan.

Smoking in China ineffective won the "Ashtray Award"

Q: Some media pointed out "China done it," this Fujitsu Lifebook p1000 battery. In your opinion, if you can not deliver performance commitments, have any effect on China?

Yang Gonghuan: As a responsible big country, and if things did not complete the commitment, will inevitably affect the image in the international community. 3 years ago, in Durban, South Africa, World Health Organization's "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control," Conference of the Parties, the Chinese delegation was granted to the participating non-governmental organizations on behalf of tobacco control groups are not positive "ashtray award." This has sounded the alarm for us, we should have a sense of urgency.

The net benefits of tobacco country is negative

Reporter: There is a view that the tobacco industry is big profits, tobacco control is not conducive to national and local economic development. How do you see the relationship between tobacco control and the economy?

Yang Gonghuan: the tobacco industry in addition to huge annual profits and taxes turned over to outside, quite a number of people can solve the employment problem. However, medical costs generated by smoking, and lost productivity caused by smoking is increasing year by year, and the rate of increase continues to expand. Comprehensive benefit analysis showed that the net benefits brought by the tobacco industry is negative. If you only see the "taxpayer" and the employment of many of these temporary "benefits" do not see the long-term, more damage, is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison.

Hundred million of the world of one-third of smokers

China is the world's largest tobacco producer, consumer, now more than 300 million smokers, accounting for one third of the total number of smokers worldwide, of which the number of male smokers was 2.9 million, 10.46 million women. 540 million people have been second-hand smoke, die each year from smoking-related diseases, the number of up to 120 million, more than AIDS, a stream, and other infectious diseases put together even more than 7 times the number of deaths.
