Editor's note:

Five years have passed since the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control came into force in China in 2006 and the country pledged to make all public places smoking-free zones before January 2011.

But the reverse seems to be happening despite the government took up the ambitious project of making public places smoke-free in five years. The country has witnessed no decline in smoking, but has 200 million more people suffering from the effects of secondhand smoke over the past three years.

No wonder, the efficacy of the tobacco control measures has come under fire, with some media outlets jumping the gun when they said the authorities have failed to curb the use of tobacco because of weak regulations.

But we should also bear in mind that healing the world from the effects of smoking, or at least making public places truly smoking-free areas, involves too much, which will need not only the government’s efforts, the tobacco industry’s compromise, but most importantly, the whole society’s awareness.

Smoking cost outweighs benefits

A new report said Thursday that the medical and economic costs of smoking-related diseases in China had outweighed the financial benefits provided to the country by the tobacco industry.

The reduction in the number of smokers in China has been negligible, said the report, "Tobacco Control and China's Future," by Yang Gonghuan, deputy head of the Chinese Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Hu Angang, head of the Center for China Studies of Tsinghua University.

The number of smokers between the ages of 15 and 69 declined by 0.08 percent annually from 2002 to 2010, much less than the 0.87 percent from 1996 to 2002, according to the report. [Full Story]

Smoking industry harming economic health

Lost productivity from smoking-related health problems will hamper China's economic growth, and related costs incurred by smoking far exceed the tobacco industry's contribution in terms of profits and jobs it generates, an international panel of experts warned on Thursday.

They also warned that China's addiction to huge revenues from the State-owned tobacco monopoly is hindering anti-smoking measures, potentially costing millions of lives in the country with the world's largest number of smokers.

The warnings, issued in a report prepared by a group of prominent public health experts and economists, came amid growing calls for the government to give stronger support to tobacco-control measures. [Full Story]

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gained a historical high authority in regulating the tobacco industry when President Barack Obama signed a tobacco control bill on June 22, 2009, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, with the primary focus of stopping cigarette companies from aggressively marketing to children, makes it illegal to sell candy-flavored and fruit-flavored cigarettes and use terms such as “low tar,” “light” or “mild” -- so-called light cigarettes make no difference to a smoker’s health.

Switzerland’s new smoking ban took effect on May 1, 2010. The law is aimed at protecting non-smokers in public spaces, including schools, hospitals, shopping malls, restaurants and cinemas. It sets minimum standards and allows authorities to introduce stricter rules but also includes exemptions.

South Korea will ban all indoor and outdoor smoking in public places starting in 2011, to substantially reduce the country’s smoking rate, the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs said. [Full Story]
