Strong supervision and implementation are also needed. In addition to setting up standard signage systems, we must also build a smoke-free environment.
At present, there are more than 300 million smokers in my country, and about 700 million non-smokers are suffering from the harm of second-hand smoke. For the sake of everyone's health, many cities have taken measures to restrict smoking in public places. Shanghai even requires smoking to be prohibited in indoor public places, indoor workplaces, and public transportation, and has even set up outdoor areas in many public places. A no-smoking area.
However, I have observed in my daily life that illegal smoking in public places still occurs from time to time in Shanghai. Some smokers take a chance and think that they will not be reported and it doesn't matter if they smoke a cigarette. Especially in places such as hotels and restaurants, as well as in elevators and parking garages of many commercial and office buildings, they are high-risk areas for smokers to smoke illegally. Smokers who only care about satisfying their temporary craving often make indoor spaces filled with smoke.
Not long ago, the Shanghai Municipal Health Promotion Commission issued the "Notice on Issuing the Smoking Control Signage System and Setting Standards in Shanghai" to standardize the setting of no-smoking signs, outdoor smoking spot signs and guidance signs, and further strengthen the "Trilogy of Smoking Control Actions" in public places. , that is, "Completely no smoking indoors, no smoking outdoors, please read the signs when smoking". Smoking control is "combined with removing blockages" to further promote the construction of a smoke-free environment. The standardized and eye-catching no-smoking signs announced this time not only mark the amount of penalties for violations, the complaint telephone number, and the smoking cessation telephone number, but also use different versions of the signs such as horizontal, vertical, and square to facilitate selection in various places.

This is an excellent warning and normative guideline for improving the city's public health conditions and enhancing citizens' health awareness. While standardizing information on outdoor smoking spots, we can better improve citizens’ awareness of smoking bans, improve the city’s public health environment, and prevent various illegal smoking behaviors.
However, I believe that the introduction of the tobacco control signage system and setting specifications this time requires strong supervision and implementation to produce the expected results. It is recommended that environmental monitoring and related departments strengthen the inspection of smoking control signs and setting standards, especially the installation of no-smoking signs in public places where minors are the main activity group, such as nurseries, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, children's palaces, youth activity centers, etc.; it is also necessary to This includes standardizing the installation of no-smoking signs in all hospitals, cultural and museum venues, sports venues, public transportation and other areas where crowds gather. Once anyone is found to have violated the no-smoking regulations, he will be strictly punished and will never be tolerated.
I suggest that the media and mass communication agencies should also be used to explain the requirements and functions of the tobacco control sign system and setting specifications, and guide all walks of life in society to strictly follow the requirements of the notice, implement the standardized setting of tobacco control signs, and add a civilized and legal atmosphere to the city. .
