Stopping Smoking
The Shanghai Regulations on Smoking Control in Public Places (上海市公共场所控烟条例) took
effect (作用) on March 1, 2010. Smoking have been banned (禁止) in the city's kindergartens, schools,
hospitals, stadiums, public service areas, shopping malls, libraries, theaters and museums, among other
places, and violators will be fined.
But the public and media are not optimistic (乐观) about the implementation (实施) of the regulations.
To make the regulations really effective, basic power comes from passive smokers. The aim of the
regulations is to protect their health rights, and passive smokers in turn, it is hoped, will take action to
safeguard those rights by applying the regulations.
But few non-smokers are ready to stand up to fight against smoking because they are not confident
about stopping the smokers. They understand the power of individuals (个人) is limited.
If they can form nongovernmental organizations, the situation will change. I believe many individuals,
including non-smokers and passive smokers, will actively take part in organized fight against smoking.
To this end, when legal powers do not cover all public places, nongovernmental organizations will be
an effective power in fighting against smoking.
