May 31 every year is " World No Smoking Day " . May 10, the intersection of Ministry of Public Health and customary the intersection of news conference and previous pieces of relevant information of banning on opium-smoking and the opium trade, " ignite" ahead of time Concern when ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade people in an all-round way at correctly public place is hospitable. See all newspapers, websites again and again in striking title that would " ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way in all indoor public places from next year ".

" ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way in all indoor public places " Intimidate and read by mistake for the media

As to smoker speech, public place forbid, smoke, be expected for a long time totally. Ministry of Public Health claims at the above-mentioned news briefing, this is a goal put forward according to the requirement of " the tobacco controls the frame convention " of World Health Organization.

However, compare to " convention " the personage understanding reveals, this piece of news may exist some is read by mistake according to one. It all have exhaustive explanation and regulation that " convention " article 11 and packaging, label and advertisement of the tobacco of article 13 promote and support, and provide the strict shoe and make an appointment; But ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade and has not done clear time to limit to the public place in an all-round way. The possibility that Ministry of Public Health refers to is only a health care system, but not all indoor public places in the whole country.

The reporter has consulted the " convention " text, article 8 " prevents contacting the tobacco smog " Claim: Every contracting party should adopt and implement in the existing national compass of competency of the national legal provision, and promote and take and implement valid legislation, implementation administration or other measures while administering the authority in its administration of justice actively, in order to prevent in indoor workplace, public means of transportation, indoor public place, when being appropriate, including contacting the tobacco smog in the other public places.

Though " convention " has not stipulated the contracting party bans on opium-smoking and the opium trade in the public place in an all-round way by force, our country has not banned on opium-smoking and the opium trade and issued the corresponding laws and regulations in an all-round way on the national public place yet either; But it is reported, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou,etc. have already taken the lead in implementation.

It is difficult to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade, easy too

In 1998, Beijing took the lead in implementing the public place and banning on opium-smoking and the opium trade in the whole country. Several regulations that in 2008, Beijing Municipal Government issues " to forbid the range of smoking in the public place of Beijing ", ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade and expand to including ranges such as the taxi, restaurant,etc.. Director of committee on the patriotic health movement of Beijing office Liu ZeJun says, according to the stipulations of 2008, ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way in 10 kinds of public places such as Beijing medical organization, kindergarten at present, and ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade partly in 5 kinds of public places such as the food and beverage, hotel.

On May 12, reporters visited several stores, coffee shops and restaurants respectively, find that it is difficult to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade, also easy.

At noon, the hot mother-in-law's restaurant guests of 5 storeys in shopping center are numerous to lie in the source era of money of Beijing. Have already divided the smoking area and district smokelessly according to the relevant regulations of Beijing here. On a dais not big that the district is set up on the end of restaurant smokelessly, it probably only accounts for 1/10 of the area of the whole restaurant, empty at this moment. By contrast, but the smoking area is very lively, some persons not smoking are shrouded in the smog. According to the introduction of headwaiter, there are many smokers to have a dinner in the crowd, smoking on even a lot of ladies, there are actually few people in the district to demand to sit smokelessly.

From hot mother-in-law's Gou Buli restaurant not far, entering the door can see that apply to more than 1 meter of high seats and cut off " smoking area " on With " non-smoking area " Words. And it is the only wall of the smog that this seat 1 meter high is cut off. Can also accomplish the subregion at ordinary times, can not attend to on Saturday, Sunday according to the introduction of waiter. If bring the child, can only try hard to look for the place to get away from person smoking to sit.

Reporter find, as hot mother-in-law and Gou Buli fairly fine, with in gold the intersection of source and 5 layers of some other restaurants, have not distinguished the smoking area and district smokelessly.

A subject for research which is called " the urban smog in Beijing pollutes situation measurement " that Capital University of Medical Sciences does, discover, when indoor nobody smokes in the laboratory that pollutes the internal environment of the room through the smog, the air is good in cleanliness, but since smoking the first cigarette in 5 minutes, air quality drops, even if the cigarette that your distance burns is 6 meters far, the pollution density in the air is higher than safety standard by more than 4 times. It means, a cigarette is enough to cause the air to worsen, it is dangerous that non-smoker and smoker and room breathe.

Liu ZeJun explains, Beijing requires the service areas of management places such as the food and beverage, Internet cafe,etc. to set up the smoking room or delimit the smoking area at present, but not demanded to separate physics, has mainly considered that transforms the cost question.

Is the restaurant really very difficult to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade?

Ji Ye the intersection of house and restaurant under gold the intersection of source and the same eave, though " forbid smoking " Identification " Hide " Having reached the least showy place of the end of the restaurant, the flow of passengers is constant at noon, but not seen a smoker.

What the reporter announced from Beijing learns in the restaurant list smokelessly, this restaurant is the restaurant smokelessly. Assistant manager Zhang Yong did not just think what relation smoking and business quality yes is. "That come here to have a dinner is the nearby white collar, nearly have nothing to smoke. It is the restaurant smokelessly that a few do not know us, so long as remind, do not suck, never the dispute has taken place. "

Coffee shop likewise, with in gold source, Starbucks coffee and peninsula coffee style different.

The staff members of Starbucks tell reporters, do not allow to smoke in the shop. "Such as meeting the customer smoking, we will tell that stipulate in the shop. Say one sentence, the household puts out the smoke. Have not met the guests insisting on smoking yet at present. "

The intersection of peninsula and coffee that smog curl up, have district, cigarette of the district smokelessly smokelessly than people too but also " prosperity " . The waiter explains: "Go here to discuss the thing, must certainly smoke. If does not allow smoking, will lack much customers. "

Compare restaurant, bar, coffee shop, Internet cafe,etc., good a lot situations that the store bans on opium-smoking and the opium trade. Gold the intersection of source and the intersection of era and the intersection of shopping center and 1- 4 - storeyed the intersection of store and security personnel have one chest card, it is Beijing that like " the intersection of Beijing and public place forbid, smoke inspector " will issued to defend . It is not difficult for security personnel to think to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade and check up the work to the sea officer: "Unless little in the smoking one people, last each once in a while, say just,others even say whether I am sorry, have put out the cigarette. "

It is troubled that who comes to punish is great

Endure " second hand smoke " to the fullest extent Implementation that people perplexing it are expecting to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way. But really find anyone smokes in the public place, how to collect evidence? Who comes to enforce the law? How to punish?

Define the regulation in article 10 of several regulations that Liu ZeJun introduces, " to forbid the range of smoking in the public place of Beijing ", No Smoking the unit of the public place defaults " regulation " and definite duty of " regulation ", deal with according to " the intersection of Beijing and public place forbid regulation that smoke " by municipal or district, the intersection of county and the intersection of committee on the patriotic health movement and office.

"Beijing likes defending the trusting area of the meeting office, county hospital to supervise. We have all sent a card to inspectors for restaurant, store,etc., but their main duty is dissuading from. " Beijing like, it defends to be can the intersection of execution and department of " the regulation ", the intersection of pool and army Liu busy with, forbid, smoke to every public place of county situation go on and spot check these two days. To all kinds of violation of law found, they will warn and rectify and improve within a definite time period. He says, punishes 10 yuan to the illegal smoker at most in ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade rules and regulations issued in 1995, but the restaurant is unable to be regarded as and fined the subject of enforcing the law now, because does not accord with the relevant regulations of " law of administrative penalty " issued later. He still reveals, the regulation that the related departments are advancing and revising the 1995 version to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade actively at present, questions such as right,etc. of enforcing the law of punishment and relevant organization that include to individual, in the course of proving.

Though it may be only all beautiful expectation which care about the person who bans on opium-smoking and the opium trade process to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way in the national public place on January 1 next year, but every personage states frankly, everybody knows that it is harmful to health to smoke, though it is that one concerns complicated system engineering of every aspect to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade, but ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade and sure it is a final goal in an all-round way in the public place. Liu ZeJun says: "People's concern for banning on opium-smoking and the opium trade of the day, it is really a very good thing. As to banning on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way, it is particularly important to devote more efforts to propagating, improve the public and approve degree. "

Liu ZeJun takes " Transition period " Describe present Beijing public place and ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade, how establish the intersection of public place and enforcer, collect evidence difficult enforcing the law the intersection of cost and high traditional the intersection of tobacco and the intersection of culture and deep-rooted obstacle that bans on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way illegally. He calls upon, should issue nationwide ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade regulation, in order to promote all parts to ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way paces as soon as possible.
