Smoking is harmful to health, why not enact a decree to tighten smoking

According to the report, there is currently no national law or regulation specifically on the prohibition of smoking in public places, and most of the relevant provisions appear in some clauses or rules of relevant laws and regulations. As of October 2006, 154 cities across the country had promulgated regulations banning smoking in public places, but more than half of the prefecture-level cities had not yet enacted local regulations prohibiting smoking in public places. This legislative status makes it impossible for our country to more effectively regulate smoking.

The report also pointed out that although the overall smoking rate of men in China has declined, it still maintains a high level, and the data of the latest national smoking behavior epidemiological survey show that the smoking rate of the male population is 57%, and there are almost no restrictions on smoking behavior. This is also the main reason why non-smokers are exposed to "secondhand smoke" in a variety of settings.

If the state treats cigarettes like a drug, then people with a big addiction to cigarettes will do everything to get cigarettes like drug addicts So the state prohibits it, the more expensive it is on the black market, the more people want to try it out of curiosity Smoking ban is a global problem, and it is powerless to test a country And the smoking rate of our population is high, and there will be a lot of natural taxes In short, a complete ban on smoking now will cause chaos.

This can't be implemented, there are too many people who smoke now, and smoking is addictive, and it is impossible to quit all of them for a while. And the ban on smoking has a bit of a negative impact on the economic side.

As *** smoking is possible, I cannot enact ordinance to tighten smoking.

Smoking is just a personal thing

Legal Analysis: Tobacco is not a drug, so the state will not ban it, it is just tobacco control.

Legal basis: Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 3 The State shall exercise monopoly management over the production, sale, import and export of tobacco monopoly products in accordance with law, and shall implement a tobacco monopoly licensing system.

Article 4 The administrative department in charge of tobacco monopoly shall be in charge of the national tobacco monopoly work. The tobacco monopoly administrative departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government are in charge of the tobacco monopoly work in their respective jurisdictions, and are subject to the dual leadership of the tobacco monopoly administrative departments and the people of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

It is indeed undeniable that the tobacco industry pays more than one trillion yuan in profits and taxes every year. But if you only see the economic benefits of the tobacco industry, I think it is very one-sided. In fact, from the perspective of total social cost, the spread of tobacco is not necessarily a good thing for the development of the national economy.

<> smoking is harmful to health, not only direct smoking, but even regular exposure to second-hand smoke can cause a variety of diseases including respiratory system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and malignant tumors, which has long been confirmed by medical research. It takes money to treat diseases and save people, especially in the context of universal medical insurance, the health problems caused by smoking not only put patients in financial difficulties, but also bring an extremely heavy burden to social security, which need to be paid by the whole people. In addition to this, there is also a loss of productivity due to premature death due to smoking.

This is essentially a business problem, where there is demand there is supply. In 2018, China's cigarette sales reached 1 trillion, cigarettes are a huge industry, you must know that Huawei's 180,000 people, global sales have not reached this number. The production and processing of cigarettes are basically automated, and the profits are extremely high, so the taxes are extremely high.

Feed a bunch of people.

In today's marketization of China's socialist system, tobacco is the largest industry that the country has not yet done marketization, and it is also the only industry in the country that adopts a planned economy. The people should not oppose the tobacco industry because smoking is harmful to their health, and they should not know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, and the country is the same, trillions of taxes are not a small number, and how many industries and personnel are still supported.

It's like every 20-year-old feels like he'll never be old, never 50 or 60. If you tell a young man in his 20s that he will buy his life after the age of 45 for 10 million, I believe many young people will agree, because in their opinion, it is a very distant thing after the age of 45, and now they will enjoy it first.

Because smoking now comes with a lot of taxes, we will allow some people to smoke for the sake of taxes.

Because it is very difficult to ban smoking directly, China can collect a lot of tobacco taxes every year, which is a lot of income, and if you want to ban smoking, this income will be gone.

First of all, there is no definition of cigarettes in the world at present, but consumer goods, and the ban on cigarettes is not justified, and now it is only found that smoking is harmful to health, just like fried food is easy to cause cancer, but you can't stop eating it. Every year, there are countless car accidents caused by drunk driving, and it is impossible for the state to ban alcohol, so the state gradually publicizes through public welfare publicity, raising consumption tax, setting up tobacco management, safe driving and other methods, and strives to achieve the goal of reducing smoking. Of course, it is undeniable that taxes in the tobacco industry are not low.

Because not everything in the world is good for health, although smoking is harmful to health, the state does not have the right to prohibit the production of smoking.

Because the ban on alcohol in the United States has directly spawned a generation of gangster Capone, it is overkill, so it can't be a one-size-fits-all ban on smoking!
