What is a smoking ban and do you support it?

This is Beijing's.

It will be officially implemented in Beijing on May 1, 2010. At that time, 10 types of places such as restaurants, Internet cafes and gymnasiums in the city will be completely prohibited from smoking. According to the regulations, large and medium-sized restaurants should advocate a comprehensive ban on smoking, in the zoning management, 75 areas are non-smoking areas, 25 areas are set up in closed isolation smoking areas, and small restaurants below 500 square meters should take tobacco control measures in the restaurant.

Compared with the previous draft for comments, the "Provisions" to be implemented in May further expand the scope of smoking prohibition in public places, including restaurants, Internet cafes and other public service areas. Individuals who smoke in non-smoking establishments are temporarily exempt from financial penalties, but the management unit where the premises are located will be penalized for poor supervision of smoking prohibitions.

We all know that smoking is bad for your health, and it can be even more harmful to passive smokers than to smokers themselves. If you can't get rid of it for a while because you have developed a dependence on smoking, of course, this is the freedom of the smoker himself, and no one can infringe on it. But the problem is that smokers must not infringe on the right of non-smokers to breathe clean air, let alone the right to health of others, while enjoying their freedom.

The role of the law in this regard is to maintain a balance between the freedom to smoke and the right to health of others, and that the prohibition of smoking in public places or the designation of a smoking area is a currently acceptable option for maintaining this balance. Smoking bans come at a cost, especially in a country with hundreds of millions of smokers. If you think back to the implementation of the ban, you will understand.

The fact that the law is often weak in the face of custom does not mean that the law does not work against custom, and that a change in habit is a change in a way of life, and the law is precisely a tool to promote a new way of life. Changing people's habits by law is not achieved overnight, but requires a long-term, repeated process of competition and revision. The key issue, therefore, is the moral consciousness of people, the formation of a new habit in which they must not enjoy their own freedom to the detriment of the interests of others or society.

The law cannot be separated from coercion, but it cannot rely on coercion alone, and only when the law is based on the consensus of the overwhelming majority of the people in society can this kind of law be implemented smoothly.

As of January 2011, Chinese mainland will completely ban smoking in all indoor public places, indoor workplaces, public transport and other possible outdoor workplaces. Yang Qing, director of the Department of Women's and Social Affairs of the Ministry of Health, revealed the information at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Health on May 10, saying that this is a goal proposed in accordance with the requirements of the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. In May 2009, the Ministry of Health, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Ministry of Health of the General Logistics Department and the Ministry of Health of the People's Armed Police Force jointly issued the Decision on the Complete Ban on Smoking in the National Medical and Health System from 2011, requiring all health administrative departments and at least 50 medical and health institutions in the military and local areas to build smoke-free units this year to ensure that the goal of a complete ban on smoking in the national medical and health system will be achieved by 2011.

(2) The greatest harm of smoking to the human body is lung cancer, especially central lung cancer. Tobacco is both "chemical" (containing more than 3,000 chemical components) and "radioactive", generally speaking, the content of radioactive substances in cigarettes is 20 times that of grains and 30 times that of vegetables and fruits. The radioactive substances contained in cigarettes can release high-energy rays that directly kill human tissue cells.

Let me tell you, life is like playing **, either you hang up first or I hang first.

More than 7 million people die from smoking every year, and this bloody figure tells you all.

Is there anything else that has been done well? Yes, my parents are always happy.
