In recent days, the chinese centre for disease control and control, in conjunction with the chinese association for tobacco control, has held a press conference to publish the most recent survey data on the implementation of the anti-smoking decree issued by the central office of the communist party and the office of the state council in 2013 by leading cadres in provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government and individual municipalities. Of these, the four provinces of heilongjiang, hunan, guangxi and qinghai have neither written nor taken any other initiative, and have become the dead end。
The press noted that the “two” circulars on leading cadres leading the fight against smoking in public places, published during the year in question, showed that only four of the 36 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government and municipalities with separate plans had neither transmitted documents nor taken any action. In response, the vice-president of the chinese association for tobacco control, xu guihua, indicated that the “two” circular had drawn the attention of leaders at all levels to smoke control and had raised awareness among leaders at all levels of leadership that they would take the lead in non-smoking in public places, but that four provinces had not transmitted, implemented, implemented or implemented the “two” circular.

How's yunnan
Data shows that implementation is rapid and active
Experts say that the rule of law keeps up with it to change the environment and achieve lasting effects
Ashtrays are no longer available in government conference rooms, but smoke is still piling up in restaurants. Last monday was the first anniversary of the circular of the central office of the communist republic of china and the office of the state council on matters relating to the leadership of cadres in the public domain (hereinafter referred to as the circular). How has the smoke environment changed over the past year? The chinese association for the control of smoking recently published the results of investigations carried out by provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, and the implementation of the “two-way” circular by individual municipalities. Of these, 11 provinces, including yunnan, hubei, shanxi, etc., were addressed by provincial councils and provincial governments。
The notice has been hailed as
A milestone in the history of smoke control in china
According to experts such as wu yiqun, researcher at the china center for disease prevention and control and deputy director-general of the research centre for health research and development, the “two” circular issued a year ago was a milestone in china's history of smoking control。
The executive director of the yunnan health counselling centre, li xiaoqing, stated that civil servants, doctors and teachers should be the norm in smoking control, as smoking behaviour by these groups is more likely to be replicated by other social groups. In practice, however, smoking rates are higher among civil servants, doctors and teachers, and leadership is often a determining factor in the ability of a unit to become a smoke-free unit, and smoking behaviour among key populations is more affected by “smoking” and “social needs”. There are more complex barriers to discouraging smoking among key populations。
In the year when the “two” circular was issued, many people felt changes from the leadership cadres. In april and may 2014, a survey was conducted into the implementation of the “two” circular in yunnan province. Based on the analysis of the data, it was concluded that the implementation of the “two” circular by the political and party organs at all levels in yunnan province was quick and active, reflecting good enforcement; that the “two” circular was clearly targeted to the smoking behaviour of leading cadres and therefore had greater normative and binding force; and that the issuance of the “two” circular unified knowledge of smoke control among leadership cadres。
The area of tobacco control legislation
We need to break through
Significantly, also in a smoke-free restaurant survey conducted last year, supersonics found that smoking in public was not much better than in the previous year. Li indicated that long-term mechanisms to ban smoking in public places and workplaces, in addition to leading cadres, must rely on a variety of strategies such as the rule of law, public education on tobacco risks to health, and a supportive social environment。
U yiquan told journalists that, in accordance with the concept of a state governed by the rule of law, progress in the legal control of tobacco has been particularly welcome in the past year, and smoke-free environmental legislation has been achieved throughout the country and in beijing. At present, smoke-control legislation is being implemented in the cities of jenan, shenyang, chuhai, chongqing, wuhan and fukuzhou. The provincial legislatures are: guangdong, hubei, liaoning。
How's yunnan? Professor shen yi, faculty of law at yunnan university, which has a long-standing interest in smoke control, said that the state council was currently in the process of developing the relevant legislation, that the draft had been published and that he personally believed that the local smoke control law could be enacted after the enactment of the upper law, in order to avoid the waste of legislation。
The challenges of tobacco enforcement, as shen yuen frankly said, lie in the widespread lack of real awareness of tobacco hazards among law enforcement, widespread sympathy for smoking, acceptance of smoking and lack of incentives for law enforcement itself; and the lack of effective oversight and discipline mechanisms (especially independent and impartial judicial mechanisms) for law enforcement in society. He stated that the area of tobacco legislation needed to be gradually broken down and that the legal strategy needed to move gradually from the focus to the general population, key areas to the general region and key links。
It's gonna take 2,000 years to stop smoking. Cheng
When will you be covered
Prior to heroin and alcohol addiction, the regular use of tobacco can create dependence on nicotine, where adolescents are more addictive than adults. Many smokers have failed to quit smoking and retake it, and a message from lee jianhua, director of the institute for drug dependence prevention and prevention of yunnan province, is revealing: tobacco dependence is a chronic cerebral disease, which is not a moral problem but rather a cure for interruption。
Li jianhua described smoking cessation services provided by professionals, including smoking cessation counselling (short advice), smoking cessation counselling/smoking hotline/psychiatric treatment, drug treatment, treatment of co-diseases (advance, depression treatment, etc.). Samples of anti-smoking programmes include nicotine dependence (e. G. Nicotine dependence testing) and an assessment of willingness to quit smoking, the date of cessation of smoking, a physical addiction cessation management plan, a psychological and behavioural management plan, a social and emotional management plan, a follow-up and re-absorption prevention plan。
But the reality is that smoking-free drugs look cheap, but it takes more than $2,000 for a treatment to come down. Li jianhua stated that it would normally take 12 weeks for a smoking cessation course at a cost of over $2,000, and that some smokers would need another treatment. This is a chronic disease with a high relapse rate, requiring long-term treatment, and the industry has been calling for the inclusion of the cost of smoking cessation in health care to reduce the burden on patients。
But there is also good news. The director of tobacco control and psychological advice, department of health education of the province, zhao white sai, is currently making use of the short cessation intervention service throughout the country and training medical personnel in smoking cessation. Currently, one hospital has been selected to regulate smoking cessation clinics in each of the provincial, state and municipal and county hospitals, and smoking cessation services are provided to smoking patients using the 12320 health hotline.
