5 years of China's compliance score failed to ratify the Smoke Control Convention

5 years of ratification of the Tobacco Control Convention, China has failed to pass the performance score of more than 100 States parties, China is in the last few "China has not yet formulated a tobacco control strategy; There is no state-level Tobacco control Ordinance; Smoking violates regulations and government orders and is not subject to any punishment; the law enforcement body of tobacco control is not clear; people don't understand the dangers of secondhand smoke.　　, rotten lungs, rotten throat. These international health warning pictures are not printed on cigarette packs, film and television are filled with smoking scenes, and some television stations advertise for tobacco groups ... Does that explain our success in smoking control? "--Wu Yiqun, deputy director of the Center for Health Development Research, 5 years ago, on January 9, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was ratified by the NPC Standing Committee and was formally entered into force in China.　　As an international public health treaty under the auspices of the World Health Organization, the Convention requires States parties to protect the health of their populations by participating in the fight against tobacco epidemics. What kind of transcripts did China hand over the 5 anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention? How to evaluate the road of our country's performance? According to the Xinhua news agency, the total number of smokers more than 300 million, second-hand smoke victims more January 6, by more than 60 experts and scholars at home and abroad to complete the "smoke control and the future of China-Chinese and foreign experts in tobacco use and tobacco Control Joint Assessment Report" released.　　According to the report, a 2010 survey showed that the total number of smokers in China was 356 million, which was higher than the 2002 survey; The number of smokers is still 300 million, compared with 2002.　　At the same time, since 2002, China's smokers have not increased their willingness to quit, the proportion of high relapse has not been improved. More non-smokers are at risk of secondhand smoke than large smokers. The report noted that the so-called second-hand smoke exposure, also known as passive smoking, that is, the smoke inhaled by non-smokers smokers and the product of the cigarette after the combustion of the mixture of gases formed.　　According to current exposure levels, of the more than 900 million non-smoking adults, 556 million were exposed to secondhand smoke, plus 182 million children, and a total of 738 million non-smokers were at risk of secondhand smoke. The report also pointed out that second-hand smoke exposure in public places is still very serious, especially in government offices, restaurants and other places.　　In workplaces such as offices, secondhand smoke exposure is also very serious.　　Smoking hazards don't mention GDP, tobacco benefits have become negative the report of 6th pointed out that although the tobacco industry occupies a considerable position in our national economy, the cost of health care and the loss of productivity caused by smoking are increasing every year and the growth rate continues to increase, and the comprehensive benefits brought by the tobacco industry have been negative. According to the report, 2000 years later, China's population after more than 20 years of high smoking rate, its negative health effects are showing, tobacco attributable to the death toll significantly increased. According to conservative estimates, tobacco use was attributed to 600,000 deaths in 2000, but the death of tobacco use in 2005 has reached 1.2 million people, 33 of them.8% died between 40-69 years of age, loss of 20-25 years of life.　　The number of deaths attributable to tobacco in 2020 will reach 2 million, accounting for 21.3% of the world's total, and 3.5 million in 2030, accounting for 43.75% of the world's death toll on tobacco, and entering the peak of tobacco disease burden.　　The report stresses that the arrival of the tobacco disease burden will coincide with the end of our "demographic dividend" period, which will undoubtedly put the whole society in a heavy burden of disease.　　The report argues that the tobacco industry has become China's largest health hazard-oriented industry, the people's health has a great negative externalities, much more than the tax and other positive externalities provided by the industry, become the economic restructuring, industrial transformation of the most important.　　Tobacco control propaganda more than 3/4 people do not fully understand the dangers of smoking the report noted that the 2010 Global Adult Tobacco survey showed that more than 3/4 of Chinese people do not fully understand the health hazards of smoking, more than 2/3 of Chinese do not understand the harm of second-hand smoke. According to the report, at present, Chinese adults, generally speaking smoking can cause serious disease awareness rate of 81.8%, smoking will cause lung cancer awareness rate of 77.5%, smoking will cause stroke and coronary heart disease attack awareness rate of 27.2% and 38.7%.　　Knowing that smoking causes three diseases, such as stroke, coronary heart disease and lung cancer, is less than 23.2%. According to the survey, 86% of people lack awareness of the erroneous view that "low tar equals low risk", and there is a higher proportion of misconceptions among those with high levels of education.　　The report argues that the tobacco industry's "focus on reducing harm" propaganda misled the social mainstream culture spread this misconception. The report says that in the past 15 years, Chinese people have increased their awareness of the health risks associated with smoking and secondhand smoke, but not enough. There are still many people who are unaware or unaware of the specific health hazards of smoking and second-hand smoke exposure, and people remain at such a stage that smoking and secondhand smoke exposure are hazardous but acceptable.　　There is no fundamental change in the image of tobacco in people's minds.　　The final score of 37.3 points, China ranked at the end of more than 100 countries reported that, according to the assessment, our country smoke control effect is weak, smoking rate is high, smoke performance performance score low, and the Framework Convention on tobacco control gap is huge. It is understood that the report uses 10 indicators, "the proportion of people smoking in indoor workplaces in the past 30 days", to evaluate the implementation of 5 key tobacco control policies, such as protecting people from secondhand smoke, providing cessation assistance, and increasing tobacco taxes and prices. Among them, indoor workplaces and public places in the past 30 days the proportion of people smoking has reached 63.3% and 72.7% respectively. Nearly 60% of smokers who have been hospitalized for the past 12 months have not asked about their smoking habits. China's population, 150 million smokers buy 5 yuan a box or lower price of cigarettes, the cost of each hundred boxes of cigarettes accounted for 2009 per capita GNP 2%. All of these indicate that our country's enforcement of tobacco control performance is ineffective。 The report points out that the percentile evaluation of the implementation of the key policies of the WHO Framework Convention on tobacco control in our country averages only 37.3 points.　　In comparison with other countries, our compliance is at the bottom of more than 100 States parties to the Convention. Who is responsible for the failure of tobacco control after the entry into force of the Convention, our country has established a convention compliance mechanism. Tobacco control is transformed from expert behavior to government behavior. A number of departments and agencies are actively involved in tobacco control, including academic institutions for tobacco control, civil society, economic and legal experts, who are also actively involved in the work. Smoke control is slowly advancing.　　However, over the past 5 years, China's tobacco control situation is not optimistic. "Many people do not regard smoking as an ugly behavior, but instead think of smoking as a ' very manly ' expression." "The Capital Medical University Lung Cancer Clinic Center director of the benefit said," when the cigarette affects people's behavior pattern, becomes the interpersonal communication indispensable one medium, the control tobacco's difficulty and the resistance is very big. "Smoke control and the future of China-a joint assessment report by Chinese and foreign experts on tobacco Use and tobacco controls issued 6th," blamed "the tobacco industry for obstructing tobacco control as the root cause of the poor control effect".　　The report lists ways to counter tobacco control activities, such as distorting the text of the Convention, denying the scientific conclusion of the health hazards of smoking, misleading the public by reducing coke and reducing harm, conducting tobacco advertising and marketing, etc. At present, the problem of tobacco control enforcement should not be neglected.　　The problems in law enforcement include: only warning, rectification of time limit, almost no punishment, difficulty in obtaining evidence, light punishment and insufficient law enforcement force. China's CDC deputy Director, Tobacco Control office director Yang said: "In addition to the number of tobacco control team, weak capacity, at present, China has not been around the implementation of specific action plans." Existing laws and regulations and the requirements of the Convention also have a large gap ... China has not widely banned all tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, the domestic hit film TV drama in the proliferation of smoking lenses. All these indicate that the implementation of our tobacco control compliance policy is ineffective. Compared with other countries, our country's performance has been ranked among the more than 100 States parties to the Convention. Yang said: "As a responsible power, if not the completion of the commitments of things, will inevitably affect its image in the international community." 3 years ago, at the Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (Durban) in South Africa, the Chinese delegation was awarded an "Ashtray Award" by the participating Non-governmental organizations group for the Smoke-control initiative. This has sounded a wake-up call for us, and we should have a sense of urgency. "Experts recommend: the comprehensive control of tobacco into the" Twelve-Five "plan to write a joint assessment report of experts recommended: the comprehensive control of tobacco targets formally integrated into the national" Twelve-Five "planning framework, as the government at all levels to fulfill and achieve the people's health one of the binding indicators.　　In the Health Service development "Twelve-Five" plan outline, should highlight the overall smoke control goal and the concrete quantification target in the core goal. Experts also suggested that the relevant departments and institutions should enact laws and regulations as soon as possible, so that indoor public places and workplaces from second-hand smoke smoke hazards; total ban on tobacco advertising, promotions and praiseTo reform the tobacco management system in the industry, clear the government's comprehensive tobacco control functions, take vigorous measures to limit the tobacco industry, promote a comprehensive transformation, and start the "development of economically viable alternative livelihoods for tobacco growers", and use economic means to control tobacco consumption.
