For example, in Quan Min Township, Songming County, Yunnan Province, farmers automatically concluded a convention to ensure that no tobacco seed would be buried in the soil and that other crops would be replanted in the tobacco field.

Because there were too many people planting and taking drugs in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the manpower and material resources for drug control were limited. In the early days of drug control, the tactics of blocking the circulation link were adopted, focusing on cracking down on criminals selling drugs, which was called? Stick a stick in your waist? . In this way, opium growers can't sell it and opium smokers can't buy it, and the effect is remarkable.

After the the State Council Circular was issued, all provinces, municipalities and administrative offices in Sichuan, that is, all major regions, successively set up committees for smoking and drug control at all levels, and some rural areas also set up anti-smoking and drug control groups. The key work of anti-drug organizations at all levels is to widely carry out anti-smoking and anti-drug propaganda and set off mass anti-smoking and anti-drug campaigns. In most places, extensive and in-depth publicity and education on smoking and drug control have been carried out in people's congresses, farmers' congresses, rent reduction and rent refund, etc. Forms include special discussion, complaint meeting, street propaganda, cartoon slogans, etc. So it is well known to all women and children.

For example, Guang 'an County, Sichuan Province organized smokers to write and perform programs such as "Smokers Turn Back" and "Smokers Sigh", and at the same time persuaded them by means of flower drums and money boards. There are also propaganda teams organized by various anti-drug agencies to collect and create some songs about quitting smoking, which are widely sung: Chairman Mao called for a big anti-drug campaign, and we all have to respond. Smash the bong, burn the bong, and make them never appear. No opium, strong body, open arms and do your job well; Banning opium saves money, supports North Korea's victory and national construction. ?

Many drug addicts handed over their smoking equipment and demanded to turn over a new leaf. Schools, public security groups and people's night schools in the city often carry out propaganda and mobilize relatives and neighbors to persuade them. The county's anti-smoking committee expanded the smoking cessation center, and all the cities along the Yangtze River set up anti-smoking and drug rehabilitation centers, extending the anti-drug work to every corner of the county.
