Is it possible to ban smoking in public places in China?
Let's start with the conclusion:

1. Smoking is prohibited in public places, which is difficult to implement in the short term.

2. In China, eliminating the social attributes of cigarettes is the key and difficult point to achieve a total ban on smoking.

1. Why do people smoke?

There are roughly the following reasons:

1. Dispel loneliness and adjust mood;

2. I think smoking is cool, and I regard cigarettes as a symbol of status and value;

3. Social means, to integrate into the circle better and faster, you have to smoke;

4. It has become a habit or addiction, and I don't want to quit or can't quit;

5. Other reasons, such as covering up the smell of the environment (toilet), curiosity, rebellion, deliberately provoking parents, etc.

........

Among them, reasons 2 and 3 are the most important, but they are actually not enough.

2. What are the common tobacco control measures in the world?

1. Remind health risks, and print a large area of warning words and pictures on the package, which makes smokers sick.

2. Impose heavy taxes

3. Cigarette factory advertising, promotion, promotion, sponsorship, political contributions and other restrictions.

4. Restrictions and thresholds have been set in sales qualification, age of buyers, smoking places and other aspects.

5. The mass media publicizes the harm of smoking to health.

6. Positive guidance such as quitting smoking, taking vacations and giving up smoking subsidies.

7. Celebrity publicity

Third, the difficulties of tobacco control in China

1. Tobacco culture prevails and cigarettes become social tools.

2. There is a huge interest chain, including financial dependence, tobacco factory profits, tobacco farmers' livelihood, local economy and other issues.

Fourth, the correct point of tobacco control in China.

1. Cut off the interest chain.

A. Promote the economic transformation of tobacco producing areas, help tobacco farmers replant other cash crops and carry out deep processing of agricultural products, and increase the added value of products.

B. get rid of the dependence of local finance on tobacco. Without him, we can only rely on economic development, industrial upgrading and system reform.

2. Adjust the focus of tobacco control publicity.

Describe smoking as an outdated, outdated, unfashionable and ridiculed peasant behavior.

Smoking is described as an unsanitary behavior, comparable to pinching feet in public, urinating everywhere, being too lazy to take a shower, smelling bad and having lice in your hair.

Smoking is allowed in film and television dramas, but the premise is that the role is humble, stupid, old-fashioned, unsanitary and mentally retarded. It is forbidden for the protagonist, all positive figures and vicious negative figures to smoke.

3. Forcibly print horrible and unlucky patterns on cigarette cases, so that cigarettes can withdraw from the market of folk gifts such as wedding banquets and birthday banquets.

4. The common experience of conventional tobacco control in various countries has been fully implemented, such as heavy taxes, total prohibition of advertising, strict cigarette circulation and positive guidance.

Can these be done? Can't do it. So there is no hope in the short term.
