今年初，杭州政府启动了《杭州市公共场所控制吸烟条例》修订程序，昨天杭州市人大对修订草案进行了审议。中国人民的健康和安全应该是这部草案的立意之本，而非经济利益。如果《条例》中留有漏洞，比如设置吸烟室，不但会增加执法成本，还会让法律本身形同虚设。 ▼  中国于2005年批准了世界卫生组织《烟草控制框架公约》，其中第8条实施准则明确规定，通风、空气过滤和指定吸烟区无法防止接触二手烟。即使是最精细的通风系统，也无法保护人们免受二手烟的伤害。 那什么可以呢？让吸烟者移步至室外吸烟，就这么简单！  现在，北京、上海、深圳都有强有力的控烟条例来保护它们6000多万的市民。作为中国最美丽的城市之一，杭州每年吸引成百上千万游客。让所有室内公共场所、工作场所和公共交通工具内全面无烟是这座美丽城市最明智的决定之一。 实现室内公共场所全面无烟且无任何豁免将保护所有人，尤其是每天被迫暴露于有毒二手烟的不吸烟者的健康。室内设置吸烟室吸烟区好比游泳池里设置小便区，没人想待在这样的环境里。真正的屏障就是全面禁烟！ 健康是万事之本，也是你的权利！ 100% Smoke-free, is it really that hard? Early this year, Hangzhou started the amendment process of its smoke-free law, and yesterday the Hangzhou People’s Congress conducted the first review of the draft law. The health and safety of China’s people should be the most important influence on the draft legislation, and not profits. Loopholes in smoke-free laws – such as designated smoking rooms – not only raise the cost of the law’s enforcement but they fundamentally don’t work. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), ratified by China in 2005, made very clear in Article 8 of Guidelines to FCTC that ventilation, air filtration, and designated smoking areas are ineffective at protecting against exposure to second-hand smoke. Even the most sophisticated ventilation systems are ineffective at protecting against second-hand smoke. What works? Simply require smokers to step outside. It’s that simple.  Now Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen have strong laws that protect more than 60 million people living in these cities. Hangzhou as one of the most beautiful cities in China attracts millions of tourists every year. Making all indoor public places, workplaces and public transportation smoke-free can be the best choice the city can ever make. Making indoor public places 100% smoke-free without exemptions will protect the health of who live and travel in Hangzhou – specifically, the health of non-smokers who are involuntarily exposed to toxic second-hand smoke every day. Having smoking rooms/areas indoors is like dividing a swimming pool into a peeing zone and a non-peeing zone – it just doesn’t work. Only a total ban can ensure protection of all!
