But it is the cigarettes, which succeed to defeat the mighty China. Its advanced stealth ability to avoid Chinas most advanced radar as a national threat, combined with its billions USD bribery in the legal form of cigarettes taxes, make the mighty China completely defeated. The largest tobacco company in the world by volume is China National Tobacco Co. Nearly 60% of Chinese men are smokers, and China consumes more than 37 percent of the worlds cigarettes. More than 301 million people are still smoking in China, despite efforts to curb the cigarettes use. Escalating health and economic tolls imposed by cigarettes has threaten to impede the stable development of China. Each year, more than 1 million people in China die because of smoking-related illness. THOUSANDS HAS BEEN KILLED BY CIGARETTES EVERYDAY. If present smoking patterns persist, cigarettes will kill nearly a third of Chinas young men over the next few decades, a new study suggests by T.H Lam of the University of Hong Kong and their colleagues. Their findings was published in the British Medical Journal. Up to 2,5 million people will die annually by 2025, if the growing cigarettes use in China continues a current trends, the Beijing Daily Messenger reported, citing WHO estimates. An International panel of health experts is warning that deaths from cigarette smoking in China will likely triple in the next two decades, killing some 3,5 million people annually by 2030. The forecast for 2030 predicts smoking-related illness in China will account for 25 percent of all death, in a county where 60% of adult males smoke. Comparable data shows about 20% of Americans smoke. Chinas Minister of Health : the Commander-in-Chief To Fight Cigarettes Mr. Chen Zhu, a hematologist and Ph.D systems biologist, became Chinese health minister in 2007, after serving as vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2000-2007) ; he is a member of three national academies of science (Chinese, U.S., and French), and one of the only two Chinese cabinet members who are not Communist Party members. As Chinas Minister of Heath, among billions people in China, he is the Commander-in-Chief in a war to fight against cigarettes. A great leader wont fear making unpopular policy, which in the long run will benefit the society. Here are some ideas to fight cigarettes: * Labelled the cigarettes as an advanced version of opium and a national threat. Explain to the public that cigarettes has killed thousand people in China everyday. This first step is the most effective and efficient strategy to stop the current growth of cigarettes sales. * Put the cigarettes label as an advanced version of opium and a national threat on national education curriculum, from the kindergarten to university. Teach our children about the negative impact of smoking. * Raise the cigarettes tax by a wide margin (between 25% to 50%) in a single raise, and instantly without giving a chance for traders to stockpile the cigarettes and make a huge profit. This will work as a shock therapy to smokers and everyone involved in the cigarettes business. An effective wake-up call for everyone. * Ban smoking at all indoor public places throughout China, which China has signed up to five years ago with WHO. Ensure a strong enforcement, start with a light-penalty, upgrade the penalty from time to time. * Ban smoking on TV screen and classroom. * Ban any kind of cigarettes advertisement, both above and below the line promotion. * Ban cigarettes company to roll out any new cigarettes products. * Within the next 6 months, ban all cigarettes specially designed for women, which usually packed in colorful packages and using fruit flavors ingredients. * Create an annual nationwide competition for public to offer promotion to discourage people to smoke (below the line or above the line promotion). Set three category for participants, from the professional adv company to university students to common people. It can stimulate creativity in society. * Develop a new drug to stop the cigarettes addiction. Make this project as a top national priority for the next three years. Engineered A Win-Win Solution For Everyone One of the main reason why the government failed to control cigarettes use is that the same government agency in charge of maximizing tobacco production is also responsible for controlling cigarettes use. How to significantly decrease the sales of cigarettes, while at the same time, raise the revenue of tobacco farmers and tobacco companies ? Here is the secret : FIND A BETTER USE OF TOBACCO. Researchers from the Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories (BFL) at Thomas Jefferson University said they have identified a way to increase the oil in tobacco plant leaves, thus paving the way for turning the plants into biofuel. In some instances, the modified plants produced 20 fold more oil in the leaves. Their findings were published in the January issue of Plant Biotechnology Journal. Other potential use of tobacco is as a natural pesticide. A green pesticide industry based on tobacco could provide additional income for farmers, and as well as a new eco-friendly pest-control agent. With the current huge profit from cigarettes sales, encourage the tobacco companies to start an extensive R&D to find a better use of tobacco, such as to become a green energy source to a green pesticide to medical usage and so on. Inspire the tobacco companies to start divert their business away from cigarettes business. Or risked the extinction soon in the future, just like type-writer machine companies, which see their business goes down by the invention of computer and printer. The invention of new drug which stop the cigarettes addiction will eventually killed the cigarettes business industry in China soon. This engineered win-win solution will benefit the tobacco farmers and tobacco companies.
