World No Tobacco Day: Promise to quit smoking and enjoy a smoke-free environment * *1May 3 1 Day is the 34th World No Tobacco Day. According to the notice of the National Health Commission, the theme of this year's activity is "Promise to quit smoking and enjoy a smoke-free environment".

World No Tobacco Day began at 1987 the 6th International Conference on Smoking and Health, when the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested that April 7th every year be designated as World No Tobacco Day. However, since 19 89, the annual World No Tobacco Day has been changed to May 3 1 day, because the second day is International Children's Day, hoping that the next generation will not be harmed by tobacco.

As we all know, smoking is harmful to health. In addition to more than 250 carcinogens or toxic substances already contained in cigarettes, there are radioactive substances such as polonium 2 10. If you smoke 1 pack of cigarettes every day, the radiation exposure is equivalent to taking 300 chest X-rays a year.

World No Tobacco Day: Promise to quit smoking and enjoy a smoke-free environment. As early as 20 13, the Central Office and the State Council issued the Notice on Matters Related to Leading Cadres Taking the Lead in Banning Smoking in Public Places. In 20 19, "the State Council's Opinions on Implementing Healthy China Action" was issued, which clearly stated the goal of "building party and government organs at all levels into smoke-free organs", which was basically achieved by the end of 2022 as required. In 2020, National Health Commission, the Central Civilization Office and the National Ivy Office jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Construction of Smoke-free Party and Government Organs, once again clarifying that smoking is completely prohibited in indoor areas of smoke-free party and government organs.

The reporter learned from National Health Commission that up to now, the smoke-free completion rate of party and government organs at or above the provincial level has reached 78.9%. All localities are accelerating to enter the critical period of "all-round compliance" with the ban on smoking by party and government organs.

Let the "key minority" play a demonstration role and launch special measures in many places. In the capital, "Healthy Beijing Action (2020-2030)" lists the full implementation of "Beijing Smoking Control Regulations" by party and government organs as "binding indicators", and proposes to focus on the construction of smoke-free institutions and promote the construction of demonstration units for tobacco control in the city.

Zhang Jianshu, president of Beijing Smoking Control Association, said that many organs in Beijing have voluntarily declared "smoke-free party and government organs", requiring leading cadres to take the lead in not smoking, and have also formulated a strict punishment system. "Some units even explicitly ask for no smoking when recruiting, and many units have installed smoke alarms to help control smoking."

Lujiazui Administration, the administrative committee of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, listed tobacco control as the annual performance appraisal index of departments and employees, and implemented the "one-vote veto system" for evaluation. The Xuhui District People's Court of Shanghai has added tobacco control inspection to the weekly audit and supervision work. Many institutions incorporate smoke control into the building fire protection system, and the whole building is covered with high-sensitivity smoke detection equipment, and real-time monitoring is implemented indoors.

Starting from improving the technical ability of the tobacco control team, Guangdong Province has held tobacco control business skills training year after year, focusing on the construction of smoke-free party and government organs, and trained more than 500 tobacco control administrators, so as to reserve technical strength for authorities at all levels to rationally plan the tobacco control environment.

Xiao Lin, deputy director of the Tobacco Control Office of China CDC, said: "Leading cadres need to set an example in building smoke-free party and government organs. Completing the goal of comprehensive tobacco control in 2022 must not be a mere formality, and we will continue to advance strictly and in a timely manner. "
