Just imagine that you are having an elusive advanced mathematics class. When you are sitting at the back closed to the door and feeling upset with difficult questions on the blackboard, you smell someone is smocking in the hallway and the smell is so strong that irritates you. For sure you (or someone who concerned) will like to stand out to stop the smokers, but the guy can just tell you he has the right to do so-because there is no such ban on smoking on campuses. Yet, nowadays this kind of setback will not exist in many American universities anymore, as in 2017, a campus smoke-free campaign was raised and the motion has been approved in universities around the U.S. The campus smoke-free campaign was not came out of nothing, but it is the extension of a universal revolt for the public smoking behavior.
Till now, the harm of smoking becomes evident and transparent. Consequently, worries about second-hand smoking have push forward many progresses regarding public health conditions. As for me, active action in stopping public smoking is applaudable since I also have family members who are exposed to second-hand smoking, which could do harm to their wellbeing. Towards this issue, I hold a simple standing that one shall has the right to smoke but it must not happen as long as do harm to the others. Recent years, situation has been changed greatly towards a good direction in many public areas as restaurant, cinema, and public transportations. As so, I cannot find out any reason to stop the smoke-free progress extend to university campus, public spaces where also resides chain smokers. The necessity is also clear since the harm of smoke spares no one, and the smoke-free practice is becoming universal while China’s university takes up a huge part of public spaces where a ban of smoking, as substantial progress will deepen many people’s understanding of the harm of smoking.
The main impetus as well as the general background of the smoke-free campaign all over the world in all pubic area is people’s deepened understanding of the harm of smoking, which serves right for the proposal of banning smoking on campus as well. Here, first of all, I would like to introduce a cut between the general smoking behavior and smoking behavior that might jeopardize other’s health. In this article, the latter is the subject to discuss. The general acknowledged harm of passive smoking lays the ground for spreading non-smoking area. First of all, as is known to all, smoking does great harm to people’s health. Early as in 1997, CNN has already ed the risk of smoking. In the news, Dr. Ichiro Kawachi (CNN, 1997) of the Harvard School of Public Health revealed, "the 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke just about do everything that we know that is harmful to the heart." He believes the chemicals in tobacco will damage the lining of the arteries and increase the stickiness of blood, therefore increasing the chances that one will develop clotting and develop a heart attack. And the AHA (American Heart Association) also estimates that from 37,000 to 40,000 people die from heart and blood vessel disease caused by other people's smoke each year. Recent years, researchers nevertheless worked out some other evidences of how cigarette jeopardize human’s health-even third-hand smoking is equally dangerous. Magazine NewScientist ed that Smoking may pose 'third-hand' cancer hazard. According to the writer, Jessica Hamzelou (Hamzelou, 2017), residues of cigarette smoke deposited on indoor surfaces can turn carcinogenic when they react with airborne chemicals, which means the protect teenagers and women from carcinogenic, the situation is more complicated. Besides these health hazards, beyond many people’s knowledge, smoking actually is the cause of poorer air quality and unexpected fire.
Smoking-free campaign is a trend around the world and China has started to follow up the call. The emphasis of China’s authority on banning smoking can be seen from the dominant official media’s covery on this topic-Chinadaily has put up a special page (China's moves against smoking) online. This page, in some degree, demonstrated the determination of the authority. And in 2017, China's top authority has already issued a notice, prohibiting Party and government officials from smoking in public in order to set an example for everyone to follow. It is a milestone in the history of China's tobacco control, and later a smoking ban in all public places was released. Though its effect may merely reach out the , but on the Chinadaily’s page one can see the wishes of people to create a better environment. According to interviewee “Dandandeyang,” “Strongly support smoking ban! Let's work together for our own environment!” Another interviewee “Hongyanxiaobei” also expressed similar opinion. She said the number of smokers in public would decrease significantly if bosses take the lead. Plus people’s wish, substantial progresses have also been made in many cities. Shanghai, Guizhou, Lanzhou, and Harbin, and many other cities have issued to ban indoor smoking.
Stopping students from smoking on campus is the extension of a universal smoke-free campaign in China as the country made up her mind to stop public smoking and banned indoor smoking from May 1st, 2017. According to China Tobacco Control Plan, in China besides 290 million male adults and 10 million female adults, teenagers also account for 15 million of smokers. Therefore, it is not rare to see someone smoking in college, and this phenomenon is more common among those juniors and seniors. For some reason, smoking is considered as a certain kind of manhood and cool behavior. The problem out of it is that once a student went into the habit, to quit is not that easy. In this case, the practices in American campus might be good examples for China’s campus to follow. Increasingly, a myriad of colleges adopted smoke-free or tobacco-free policies in the past few years. Chinadaily has interviewed American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation Project Manager Liz Williams (Chinadaily, 2017) and ed that in the year of 2017 alone, 120 campuses were added to the smoke-free list. Not only Americans, some Chinese students took action as they believe it should be a down-to-top process. As UPI ed (UPI, ), since 2017 students at Peking University would see the yellow sign stating “No smoking: Fashionable and healthy!” on hot water boilers around their campus. The signs are part of the school’s initiative to discourage smoking.
This substantial progress sometimes may not achieve the most ideal outcome but their most value is to inform and cultivate people to quit the bad habit of smoking. Nevertheless though the smoke-free campus campaign is ongoing, some people argue that these rules have seen poor implement, which proves it is not necessary. However, in my opinion, keeping silence makes no difference as turning a blind eye on the issue. Inaction itself is a kind of indulgent which encourages smoking behavior. Moreover, measures coming out serves as guidance for people to gauge their own behavior. The defining of smoking as a bad behavior has also set a tune for people to realize its harmful effect.
All in all, smoke-free campus, the right thing to do, will be realized now or later. First of all, no one is not excluded in smoking’s risk, so are those students on campus. Secondly, to ban smoke in public spaces is the trend all over the world, and campus should also not be excluded. Thirdly, China has already started the process of spreading ban of smoking, and to include campus will also complete the policy package. Fourthly, no matter the smoke-free campus work out or not, this act itself can serve as guidance for public to understand the harm of smoking. By listing and analyzing the reasons behind the ban of smoking on campus, I wish this article can help people understand the situation and promote a safer and more healthier environment for people.
