答案 As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, a man is smoking in a public place and the claw of his smoke is threatening a lady and her daughter passing by him. What is conveyed in the drawing is most meaningful and thought-provoking. China banned smoking in public places from Jan 9, 2011. Yet despite this, smoking is still common in restaurants, work places, schools, hospitals and other public venues. Statistics from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) show that the number of smokers in the country has remained at around 300 million, almost the same as in 2002. About 740 million nonsmokers are exposed to passive smoking, among which 72.7 percent are exposed to secondhand smoke in public places. While it is true that the tobacco industry is a big taxpayer, the gains from cigarette revenues are offset by the country’s high medical expenses which are related to smoking. The government should do more to enforce the ban on smoking in public places and provide the necessary assistance for smokers to overcome their addiction as they are the primary victims of the tobacco industry. And getting people to quit their habit will also reduce the secondhand smoke that people are exposed to. (206 words)
