Smoking has become the most important single cause of illness and death. Since the rate of cure for the most frequent types of organ cancers is still very poor with little chance of improvement in the foreseeable future, it has become necessary to put more emphasis on cancer prevention. The same holds true for the dangers of passive smoking, which have now been confirmed by all the representative scientific bodies at home and abroad. Legal protection of nonsmokers in the workplace is long overdue. The irresponsible inactivity on the part of our government with regard to smoking and passive smoking has been sharply denounced, since it has become obvious that neither health education and information nor appeals to the public can bring about a change in the situation, but only the implementation of a whole catalog of measures, including adequate legislation.
吸烟已成为最重要的单一致病和致死原因。由于最常见类型的器官癌症的治愈率仍然很低，且在可预见的未来改善的可能性很小，因此有必要更加重视癌症预防。被动吸烟的危害也是如此，目前国内外所有具有代表性的科学机构都已证实了这一点。早就应该在工作场所对不吸烟者进行法律保护了。我国政府在吸烟和被动吸烟问题上的不负责任的不作为受到了严厉谴责，因为很明显，健康教育、信息宣传以及向公众发出呼吁都无法改变这种状况，只有实施一系列措施，包括制定适当的立法，才能做到这一点。
