On January 9, 2011, realized the international commitment that bans on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way in the public place and expired soon in five years, can China fulfill as scheduled? " international pioneer's Leader " reporter take care of Qiantang River and release from Sydney " to forbid smoking in all indoor public places in China in three months? " This question does not have a fantastic idea, but the commitment which China made 5 years ago. On January 9, 2006, Chinese National People's Congress sanctioned implementing World Health Organization " the tobacco controlled the frame convention ", this convention requires, the contracting party should realize 100% of all indoor workplaces, indoor public place, public means of transportation ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade after honouring an agreement 5 years. The time that China fulfilled the above-mentioned commitment was just on January 9, 2011. But reality is, half the hospitals may have realized the environment totally smokelessly in China by the end of this year, when can numerous public places such as other schools, government bodies, restaurant, bar ban on opium-smoking and the opium trade in an all-round way? I'm afraid even health minister can not answer. The ninth Asian-Pacific area smoking or health conference held in Sydney of Australia in the first ten days of this month, have carried on on progress, experience and challenge of fulfilling " the tobacco controlled the frame convention " in this area and exchanged extensively. The staff reporter attending a meeting and interviewing finds, accuse of the obvious effect of the cigarette in the face of the other countries, review this country, accuse of to walk haltingly cigarette, from China to accuse of the intersection of cigarette and officer and expert put into anxious with a helpless one entangled with. "It is China's greatest public health question that the tobacco is endangered, but accuse of there are very long and very long ways in China in cigarettes to walk, "China disease accuse of centre accuse of cigarette run Deputy Director Jiang Yuan, say with deep feeling at the conference. Magnificent cigarette cast is prominent accuse of the cigarette predicament Full of the rotten feet of pustule, dying patient, the smoked lung that deceived, the baby dying young At this conference, Thailand has shown third set of cigarettes that is using of its charters the warning picture, amounts to 10, meeting the eye amazes by the heart and shows and smokes the health problem that will bring. The area of over half of cigarette cast is warned the picture and occupied, in other positions, telephone number and characters of giving up smoking warn languages on the eye impressively. " the tobacco controls the frame convention " requires, the contracting party should implement the warning mark of the health in the tobacco is being packed after honouring an agreement for 3 years, and point out concretely: Health warn label take large clear, occupy main 50% or more visible part, it is 30% at least, can't mark and smoke and harmful to health briefly, it causes serious diseases such as lung cancer,etc. to tell consumers to smoke, in addition, recommend the picture with more prominent result of use to warn. For this reason, China put out the new cigarette cast in January of 2009. What if it accuse of cigarette result? The intersection of Germany and Professor compare the intersection of Chinese and the intersection of cigarette and 9 different packaging at home and abroad intelligently, draw the conclusion: Warning that cigarette pack result weakest in China. He points out, it is both a China brand cigarette, it causes the packaging of the lung cancer picture that the ones that sells in Canada smoke, it is strongest to warn the result, then the packaging of the seal oral cavity disease picture sold in Singapore, packaging of the picture,etc. of printing the foot and festering with selling in Hong Kong, the Chinese cigarette packaging that and the domestic smoker is accustomed to, the health warning message transmitted is weakest: There is not any warning picture in packaging, the characters although have two sentences while warning languages, not striking, and the content is identical - -" it is harmful to health to smoke, it is good for health to give up smoking as soon as possible " ,The more puzzling one is, the warning language on the back of cigarette cast is in English. "Should not transmit the most important health information to the national citizen with foreign language, "Fang ZhiDe says, " about 90% of the smokers in China do not understand that English, such a warning is totally invalid. " Although cigarette cast is small, deemed to accuse of one of the most important positions of cigarette by the expert. Square Germany points out intelligently, as the smoker takes a cigarette out from the cigarette cast, will get the health to warn information at the same time, one smoke person of No. 20 Branch every day, have more thanth chance see the health sincere advice at cigarette cast in the one year. China disease accuse of centre investigation that expert carry on at home reveal over 70% people think the intersection of our country and new cigarette behind the bag, show, feel harm of smoking, someone even says that can still make a gift of the cigarette as the present. On the contrary, after they have seen the foreign cigarette cast with sick picture, more than 90% of the persons express that understand the danger of smoking, have produced the will of giving up smoking, and will not make a gift of the cigarette as the present. "The new tobacco in China is packed and has not reached and accused of the requirement that the smoke honours an agreement, still only fresh and magnificent, have not produced the result of reducing consumption of tobacco, " China's disease accuses of centre's accusing of cigarettes to do to Deputy Director Yang Jie to say in Sydney, " this is not strange, because it is designed by State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau. " The tobacco adds taxes, do not work in China? Except have striking cigarette to warn content wrap up, heighten tax on tobacco consider in the world very much effective accusing of the cigarette measure. However, increasing the way of the tax on tobacco seems not to work in China. In 2009, the consumption tax of China's small size improvement tobacco products production ink, and will be selling the ad valorem duty that links added 5% in batches. How is the result? Tobacco economic expert, big professor Hood of branch school in Berkeley of University of California have announced the investigation that he and many Chinese experts do in six domestic cities in Sydney, the conclusion is: China heightened the method of the smoke tax last year, increased the fiscal revenues, but did not bring the decline of the volume of consumption of tobacco. "The main reason is, the increased tax has been digested by tobacco enterprises, the retail price in China of the cigarette basically has no change, consumers are imperceptible, "Hu DeWei says. He points out, it is favorable to raise the tax on tobacco and have economics basis to accuse of cigarettes, the price is the most important variable of influencing the demand, if the retail price of the cigarette rises, the smoker's demand will drop. If add the improvement that taxes have not become the retail price, the smoker's consumer behavior would not change. According to the calculating of Hu DeWei, if each pack of cigarettes increases the specific duty of 1 yuan, then the smoker of China will reduce by 13,700,000, will save 3,400,000 people's life. Thailand has heightened the tax on tobacco many times since the 1990s of last century, at present, the cigarette tax accounts for more than 70% of the retail price of cigarettes. Thai Ministry of Public Health accuses of cigarette advisor general favourable Kate's pointing out, it is that the smoking rate of Thai man drops to 36.5% of the important reasons from 55.6% that the cigarette tax is raised. The experience of Thailand still shows, increasing the tax on tobacco brings more incomes as the national treasury, moreover, Thai government is drawn a small part to use for accusing of cigarette and public health expenses from it. In fact, it is exactly one of the difficulties that China accuses of cigarettes and faces to lack fund. China accuse of president of cigarette association GuiHua Xu say frankly association fund come from rich foundation Peng wait for foreign aid of group all nearly, try to keep, stride It is difficult. Thailand is worth consulting drawing the method which accuses of the cigarette fund from the cigarette tax. "The intersection of China and the intersection of tax rate and 30% more than of tax on tobacco at present, and 65% to 70% in the world, China tax on tobacco stills have very much loud rise spaces, continue advancing this process. " Hu DeWei says. This expert emphasizes, China must reflect to heighten the tax on tobacco on consumption links, could produce the ideal result increase the income of national treasury as well as reducing consumption of tobacco. Separate government function from enterprise management, or cancel having a monopoly in? World accuses of cigarette personage's thinking, on public health, the tobacco industry is absolutely not stakeholder, but the enemy. Fourth session of contracting party that " the tobacco will control the frame convention " of WHO held in Uruguay next month, will discuss implementation criterion of article 5.3 of convention especially, how to refuse the question intervening of the tobacco industry. This topic directs at the tobacco that China merges government administration with enterprise management into one and has a monopoly in the system. China is a few countries that still implements the monopoly system to the cigarette in the world, authorize institution State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau to manage and produce, purchase the whole procedure produced, sold from the tobacco leaf to the cigarette, its another identity is China Tobacco Corporation. In the department border coordinating leading group that Chinese Government establishes for fulfilling the frame convention, State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau is also one of the member units. Accuse of cigarette expert's pointing out, State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau should fulfil accusing of the cigarette obligation of the convention as the government department, but it is the tobacco company at the same time, safeguard the interests of this trade. These two kinds of roles have conflict that can't be mediated. Foreign expert describes, when policy of this public health that Chinese officers are discussing to accuse of cigarettes, the representatives of the tobacco company sit nearby. This seems to let the fox sit in the chicken coop, it is discussed how to protect chickens, its result can be well imagined. The cigarette cast that the warning that State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau designs is with weak function, it is one. And the regulations of 5.3 strings of frame convention, " each side is while making and implementing the public health policy that relevant tobacco control, must take action to ensure its policy to avoid the influence of commerce and other vested interests of the tobacco trade ",Just evict the fox from the chicken coop in purpose. Accuse of the intersection of cigarette and expert, the intersection of China and disease accuse of Yang GongHuan, researcher of in the center, understand, say while being famous, the regulations of 5.3 strings mean the tobacco monopoly bureau should not be regarded as one of the Chinese delegation's members, participate in the meeting of contracting party that the tobacco controls the frame convention. Whether really come out at the fourth session of contracting party to be held in next month Uruguay soon like this. This time Sydney has accused of holding a dialogue to the tobacco monopoly system at the cigarette meeting: China disease accuse of centre accuse of cigarette it runs the intersection of Deputy Director and Yang to be outstanding to maintain, break the intersection of Chinese and the intersection of tobacco and system that trade merges government administration with enterprise management into one, accelerate the process of honouring an agreement; The view that Thai Ministry of Public Health accuses of the cigarette advisor general favourable Kate is quite unexpected - -View from the point of accusing of the cigarette experience in Thailand, it furthermore helps to accuse of cigarettes to keep tobacco monopoly system. It is introduced, have Thai tobacco company of state-owned enterprise (TTM) which has a monopoly in properties Belong to the management of the Ministry of Finance, its main goal is pursuing and obtaining more incomes through the tobacco trade. The country that established in 1989 accuses of the cigarette committee, is served as a president by Thai Ministry of Public Health, it is healthy to absorb in accusing of cigarettes and protecting the public. On the present market of Thai tobacco, the state-run Thai tobacco company accounts for 2/3 of the share, Philippine Mexico, Great Britain and America,etc. international transnational tobacco group account for 1/3 of the share. General favourable Kate say Thailand plan, but not done it in this way the intersection of Thai and the intersection of tobacco company and privatization finally, the reason is that they find, state-run tobacco companies and transnational tobacco groups object to accusing of cigarettes, but comparatively speaking, the experience of the state-run tobacco company is not very abundant, not so over-ambitious, the ability to go canvassing in policy is not very strong, it is the most important, relatively listen to government. For example, the Thai government can require TTM not to regard women as the marketing target, but can't require the transnational tobacco company to do in this way. "Raise the cigarette tax and implements the effective tobacco and warn packaging, keep the state-run monopoly system at the same time by a wide margin, let the state-run tobacco company take orders from the government, this is that Thailand accuses of the secret of the cigarette effectively, "General favourable Kate says, " every country should choose the suitable road. " " late coming " ,Can " expire by first " ? In January of 2006, the smoker sanctions WHO when " the tobacco controls the frame convention " in most populous national China in the world, express advance political will to accuse of cigarette, global personage, circle of hygiene, inspire for it. But seen from reality, sanctioning the convention is one thing, could honour an agreement conscientiously ing is another. However, world accuses of accusing of the cigarette prospect and showing optimism to China at the meeting in Sydney of cigarette expert. " the global tobacco controls the network " Director high the intersection of will and article point out China realized nearly all development goal of thousand years that oneself promises, the domain of public health of preventing and controlling at AIDS etc. has made the astonishing achievement, and realized the rare economic growth in the history of mankind. "So long as China has strong political wills, and do diligently,who can't say on China at cigarette this one of accusing of than preventing and curing at public health defended war with getting more important AIDS ' it is late coming but early to '? ! " Gao ZhiWen says. (international pioneer's Leader)
