Smoking can cause cancers, heart problems and other diseases. Although almost everybody knows smoking is bad for health, people still smoke. Fortunately, actions are now being taken to stop smoking.
Beijing says no to smoke A new anti-smoking regulation(条例)will soon take effect on June 1 in Beijing. It is regarded as “China’s toughest(最严格的)ever” tobacco control regulation. According to the regulation, smoking is not allowed in all indoor public places, including public transportation. Those who break the rules will be fined up to 200 yuan. Teachers cannot smoke in front of students in primary and middle schools. Schools are also required to help students quit smoking and educate them about the harm of smoking. Beijing has set up an anti-smoking hotline (12320) and a WeChat account (Smoke-free-Beijing), to which people can send photos to report smokers. The public is also invited to vote (投票)on stop-smoking gestures on WeChat. So far, an image of a girl covering her nose has become the most popular pick. ![]() Xinhua news |
