March 22nd, 2010 by eomgw3cn1on the development of national “law smoking in public places,” the proposal
domestic and international experience shows that implementation of the public places smoking law is to protect the public from the hazards of smoking the most effective measures. China is a tobacco production and consumption country, 350 million smokers, passive smoking, the number of up to 540 million, the corresponding number of patients reached 600-800 million, of which the fastest rise in lung cancer incidence rates over the reform and opening up increased 4.65 times, 1 million each year from smoking-induced deaths, and the resulting direct medical costs of 14 billion yuan. 30% of the international community of countries have promulgated the “law smoking in public places,” China, as a responsible big country, and constantly improving people’s health and state of civilization, while simultaneously maintaining the country’s image in the international community for the Chinese nation stand tall among the nations in the world lay the foundation.
At present, China is not a ban on smoking in public places specific national legislation. In 1987 the State Council promulgated the relevant regulations, began to involve the terms of smoking bans in public places, but far from being able to meet the people’s health needs and social development needs. The first no-smoking laws and regulations fragmented. Currently, only civil aviation, railways and other industries and 45.7% of medium-sized city issued a ban on smoking in public places specific regulations. The second is the lack of standardized tobacco control laws and regulations. The light of the absence of central legislation, local laws and regulations in no-smoking places, smoking areas, law enforcement and so obviously different standards. The vast majority of places where smoking is limited to health care, childcare, schools, conference rooms, libraries, public transportation and other places; no-smoking areas are divided into smoking and some smoking areas, and in the no-smoking areas also classified as “Smoking Area” and ” smoking area. ” The third is a serious lack of enforcement capability. Smoking enforcement subject to Aiwei Hui and health administrative departments, as smokers in large quantities, the degree of civilization is not high, coupled with understaffed law-enforcement groups, funding shortages, resulting in hard evidence, punished hard and failed to observe the phenomenon seriously. Fourth, non-compliance penalties go far enough. The existing regulations more people violating the Ordinance to “exhort education, make it correct,” “refuses to correct, is punishable by ten-dollar to tens of dollars” in fines, penalties obviously falls short of disciplinary purposes; While some provisions of the violators “shall be an administrative punishment\
To this end, the following recommendations:
one as soon as possible to start “no-smoking law in public places,” the legislative process. January 9, 2011 approved by the NPC of China to fulfill the international “Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,” expired, that is, in indoor workplaces, public transport, indoor public places 100% no smoking. The current period from the remaining 9 months of performance, such as not legislation, will have a direct impact on China’s international credibility. Therefore, the legislation will not only help people’s health, for local legislation and improve relevant laws and regulations provide a reference, but also the important actions of our performance, to safeguard China’s international influence events.
Second, clear “law smoking in public places,” the no-smoking areas, law enforcement subjects, law enforcement procedures, penalties and regulations to implement the process and so on. First, 100% no-smoking in indoor public places. International Tobacco Control experience has shown that “completely smoke-free environment” is the only effective means to protect all persons against hazards, ventilation, air filtration and designated smoking areas and other measures have been proven ineffective. Second, laws and regulations for law enforcement, supervision,rolex watches, management and other departments and units to make clearly defined responsibilities, and further clarify the law enforcement procedures,CHI Hair Straightener, are given sufficient to achieve individual and unit discipline violations principle.
3 and step up publicity for the national “law smoking in public places,” lay the foundation for the implementation. Smoking is a difficult behavior to change, through advocacy,replica rolex watches, to enhance awareness of smoking hazards and health awareness, raise public awareness of regulatory compliance, to ensure the effectiveness of law enforcement.
tobacco ad valorem duty on the implementation of the proposed reforms
China is the world’s largest tobacco producing and consuming countries, but also countries that are most affected by the haze. International experience shows that by raising tobacco taxes and prices to curb consumer demand, is an effective means of tobacco control, especially for young people and more significant effects of low-income smokers, but also help to increase revenue.
2009 Nian 5 Yue Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the “tobacco products on the adjustment of consumption tax policy, notice” of comprehensive tobacco tax rate from 40% to 48.7%, while revenues increased by 500 million, but the control smoke limited effect. First, the dangers of tobacco does not reflect the tax burden, China’s tobacco tax is far lower than the international average level of 65-70%, the “Fiscal smoke” room is great. Second, the transfer tax does not complete, several types of tobacco tax adjustments, in addition to a handful of high-priced cigarettes, other tobacco prices did not change, for national consumption, particularly in low-end market, little impact. Third, the implementation of tobacco monopoly system in the country, the formation of the tobacco monopoly industry, excess profits, adjusted tax rate is small, little impact on tobacco companies, which transfer price of 50-70 yuan / Article falling instead of rising tobacco taxes, to the tobacco companies to create through the the adjustment of product structure, transfer tax deal with the space.
2006 1 National People’s Congress approved, “the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,” formally entered into force in January 2011 due performance of which Article 6 provides that “the implementation of tax policies on tobacco products and, where appropriate, price policies, in order to for the purpose of reducing tobacco consumption. ” The transfer tax is far can not be achieved, “the Convention” requirement, can not be considered full compliance action, we must further utilization “tax price linkage” means, in order to achieve “the Convention” tobacco control objectives.
recommends:
1, to price tobacco control. More than 80% of China’s population to consumption of low-priced cigarettes mainly focused tone cheap cigarettes in order to achieve an effective reduction in consumer spending. On the A and B class tobacco price rises are not linked with the price, the price is low, price rises large, can be reduced due to price increases caused by the same group of low-priced cigarette consumption, the expansion of risk. Removal of subsidies for low-cost tobacco policy change “to subsidize the poor non-smoking” to “help the poor to quit.”
2, profits turned over. After the tobacco industry will increase by profits of monopoly industries in particular income payments, health, special charges or damage to the central government special revenue funds, etc. to the state treasury regulation. If the CPI increased by 3 per pack cigarette yuan and B increased 0.5 yuan per pack cigarette, cigarette consumption per year will be reduced by 100 million 263.7-880.7, 184.3-313 billion tax increase, decrease 161.2-540.6 million smokers, smoking 54-180.2 million reduction in premature death.
3, from the amount of ad valorem taxes, and a combination. Currently the main shift to ad valorem tax from the price, the amount of tax from the combination of the tax rate increase reflected in the sales price and quantity. Constantly improve the tax rate based on the number of companies A and B types of tobacco sales, according to the CPI cigarettes per pack 1.5 yuan, 0.25 yuan per pack cigarette B to the “central fiscal revenue regulation fund” paid taxes, consumption tax to adapt to the direction of reform, the collection of links links to the wholesale transfer of tobacco taxes in 2012 increased to 65%, which can effectively control the tobacco companies, national tobacco sales, consumption, but also increase revenue.
4, increased tobacco control input. Health care reform, now in a critical period, in accordance with 2009, “CPC Central Committee and State Council on Deepening the views of medical and health system reform,” strengthen the government’s basic public health services in the responsibility for tobacco control is an important part of public health, funding a serious shortage of tobacco control actions difficult to go deep into the local and grass-roots level. The need will increase the price of tobacco tax revenue for public health and tobacco control.
on the implementation of the international “Framework Convention on Tobacco Control”
urgent recommendations
2006 Nian 1 9, National People’s Congress ratified the international “Framework Convention on Tobacco Control,” the entry into force , tobacco control related to the health and lives of millions of people, 350 million smokers, passive smoking, the number as high as 540 million each year up to 600-800 million in the corresponding number of patients, lung cancer incidence rate compared with the initial stage of reform and opening up increased by 4.7 times, an annual death in lung cancer by about 60 million people, here the speed will reach one million people by 2025. Now die each year from smoking-related diseases, 100 million people, here the speed will reach 2 million people in 2025. The middle of this century, accumulated 100 million Chinese people died from tobacco-related diseases, half of them died the age of 35-69 years old. Can not afford to bring the tobacco to the economy short-term interests and neglect the people’s health, labor resources, long-term damage.
Government endorses the “Convention” Tobacco Control principles and measures the Chinese government people-oriented, adhere to the scientific concept of development position. Hazards of tobacco control is an important public health policies, compliance related to me a responsible big country’s international image. January 2011 9 compliance expired and the period of performance from the remaining 9 months, but the process of China’s tobacco control and the “Convention,” there are still a wide gap between demand and special made the following recommendations:
1, urgent introduction of Tobacco Control Planning
“the Convention” suggests that “Parties to develop, implement, periodically update and review comprehensive multisectoral national tobacco control strategies, plans and programs.” Tobacco Control in China is of great significance to the global tobacco control has received international community. At present, China signed the “Convention” has been five years, but not yet to develop tobacco control strategy and planning, the slow pace of tobacco control. As soon as possible to develop national tobacco control plan and action plan, step by step on tobacco production, sales control, step by step organization of tobacco cultivation and production areas and the tobacco industry steadily converting, alternative, in order to maximize the effectiveness of tobacco control is that the Chinese government the international community, tobacco control, “performance”’s commitment is to establish an international image and win the trust of a long-term and arduous task.
2, urgent need to develop anti-smoking laws
“the Convention” suggests that “the Parties to the Government to consider the effective legislative, executive, administrative or other measures to protect all persons from exposure to tobacco smoke.” legislation not only conducive to people’s health, for local legislation and improve relevant laws and regulations provide a reference, but also the important actions of our performance, to safeguard China’s international influence events. China lags behind in the tobacco control legislation, there is no specific law against the national tobacco control, just rely on scattered laws and regulations related to tobacco control to guide action, can not be systematically and effectively promote relevant state departments, local government standard-setting legal norms. Must accelerate the development of no-smoking legislation plan to promote the process of no-smoking law. China must develop as quickly as possible to prevent the exposure to smoke environmental laws and regulations to give priority to start the “no-smoking law in public places,” the legislative process, before the introduction of the compliance deadline.
3, needs to be confirmed tobacco control objectives
“to protect people’s health and reduce the tobacco supply and demand” is the tobacco control objectives, performance commitments of the Chinese government, while the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau to fulfill “the Convention” related responsibilities and tasks is to “tobacco harm-reduction tar work,” through “scientific and technological innovation” achieved “tar harm reduction objectives.” 2008 China’s tobacco industry, announced that the average tar per cigarette has dropped to 13.2 mg. However, 13.2 milligrams of tar smoking a cigarette with a 20 mg tar cigarettes as harmful to health, “light” cigarette smokers tend to smoke more mouth, smoke more frequently, or more deeply inhaled into the lungs. Therefore, the Chinese tobacco industry trying to reduce the tar harm reduction efforts in health benefits for smokers are not misled smokers into believing that to reduce the tar harm reduction. Immediate clarification “tar harm reduction” was in urgent need to establish tobacco product disclosure regime so that the masses abreast of toxic constituents of tobacco products and harm the release of material, so that the general public to accept the only way to harm reduction is to reduce the supply, to promote smoking cessation.
4, yet to be reformed Zhengqibufen system
“the Convention” suggests that “The Parties shall prevent the public health policies on tobacco control by the tobacco industry, commercial and other vested interests.” China’s tobacco industry Zhengqigeyi system, created a tobacco monopoly position of strength, the tobacco industry, government departments very difficult bind their own business practices to fulfill the public responsibility for tobacco control, but also the use of national public power for tobacco companies to seek a larger space for development , so that the tobacco companies on executive power and strong financial resources in a constantly increase in tobacco production and marketing. The Government of the State Council set up inter-ministerial anti-smoking compliance coordination mechanism led by the Ministry of Information Industry. However, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau China Tobacco Corporation is the general manager of tobacco control performance of this system and can not get rid of the tobacco business interests to contain, touching the interests of the tobacco industry tobacco control measures can not be implemented smoothly, compliance issues, slow progress in China’s tobacco control an important performance bottleneck. Past two years, NPC deputies and CPPCC members put forward recommendations to change the institutional voice of the tobacco industry Zhengqigeyi day, we have to separate government administration from the system as quickly as possible.
5, urgent need to curb the momentum of sustained growth in output
“the Convention” that “goal is to Parties to implement tobacco control measures to make tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke continued to decline significantly.” China is the world’s largest tobacco producing and consuming countries, but also countries that are most affected by the haze. Since the signing of “conventions\The tobacco sector is not in “demand reduction” We should, but “increase supply” on the development. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao put forward on behalf of the Chinese government “must not be at the expense of people’s health and life in exchange for the interests of enterprises and economic development.” Must take all measures to reduce tobacco production and consumption.
6, urgent need to establish tax-inclusive price linkage system
“the Convention” suggests that “the implementation of tax policies on tobacco products and, where appropriate, price policies, in order to promote the purpose of reducing tobacco consumption.” International experience shows that by raising tobacco taxes and prices to curb consumer demand, is an effective means of tobacco control, especially for young people and more significant effects of low-income smokers, but also help to increase revenue. May 2009 Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation jointly issued the “tobacco products on the adjustment of consumption tax policy,Hair Straight, notice” of comprehensive tobacco tax rate from 40% to 48.7%, while revenues increased by 500 billion, but the effect of tobacco control is limited. The “price of tobacco control” strategy to take notes focus on low-priced cigarettes, tobacco subsidies, removal of low-cost policy, and change “to subsidize the poor non-smoking” to “help the poor to quit”; “profits turned over to the” strategy,Flat Iron, the tobacco industry will raise prices After the profits of monopoly industries in particular income payments, health, special charges or damage to the central government special revenue funds, etc. to the state treasury regulation; “from the amount of tax and ad valorem taxes” combination of strategy, sales tax rate increase reflected in the price and quantity on, the collection of links to the wholesale segment shift in 2012 tobacco tax increase to 65%, effective control of the tobacco companies, national tobacco sales, consumption, but also increase revenue.
7, should be standardized labeling system for warning packets
“the Convention” suggests that “within three years after signing the entry into force, the State party and the packaging of tobacco products should have a large, clear, clear and eye-catching tobacco is hazardous to health warnings and the appropriate information. ” International experience has shown that picture warnings good effect in April 2008 China promulgated the “People’s Republic of cigarette packaging logo of the rule\, “” China \tar, “” mild, “” ultra light “and so on to attract consumers, dilute the warning in order to ensure that tobacco is highly profitable. Should be amended as soon as possible, “The People’s Republic of China within the cigarette packaging logo of the provisions of” to regulate the tobacco warning identity standards, shall not be used against misleading impression of their logo or words.
8, urgent amendment to ban tobacco advertising, promotion, sponsorship system
“the Convention” suggests that “The Parties shall under the Constitution or constitutional principles, a broad ban on all tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.” Introduced in 1995, “The People’s Republic of China Advertising Law,” under the new situation is difficult constraints on tobacco advertising, through television, mass media advertising of tobacco hidden through social sponsorship, education, student, sports and other public welfare assistance, or even the title hopes primary school, do face changing advertising, establish a “brand” and “corporate” image, to achieve the purpose of selling tobacco. Forms of advertising, more and more diverse, more and more concealed, making tobacco advertising, promotion widespread acts of the urgent need to improve the “Advertising Law of the People’s Republic” in terms of tobacco and effective control of infiltration of tobacco advertising.
