  On the 29th, the Beijing Tobacco Control Association issued the 16th tobacco control information circular. The data shows that from January 1 to May 28, 2020, through the "smoke-free Beijing" WeChat public complaint reporting platform, 3,342 clues for tobacco control complaints were received, with an average of 22 reported daily, compared with the same period in 2019. Down 50.3%.

  The five most complained places were: 836 residential buildings and bus platforms (25.1%); 840 office buildings (25.1%); 733 restaurants (21.9%); 408 office spaces (12.2%); shopping malls 166 (4.96%).

  The major complaints reported were: 2285 (68.3%) people smoked in the premises; 705 (21.1%) no obvious smoke-free signs in the premises; 226 (6.7%) people dissuaded from smoking in the premises; 129 smoking fixtures provided (3.8%).

  According to the number of regional complaints and population complaint rate, the top five districts are: 251 cases in Dongcheng District (2.2 million people); 1073 cases in Chaoyang District (1.9 million people); 660 cases in Haidian District (1.3 million people); 135 cases in Shijingshan District (1.4 million people); 229 cases in Xicheng District (1.4 million people). The total number of complaints in the five administrative regions was 2,348, accounting for 70.3%.

  In addition, the complaints during the epidemic also showed some changes.

  During the epidemic, the number of smokers in public places decreased significantly. During the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic in the first quarter of 2020, the number of illegal smoking behaviors and complaints in the catering industry, office buildings, and office premises in Beijing was significantly reduced.

  For example, there were only 364 complaints about illegal smoking in February, a decrease of 66.7% compared with the same period in 2019. The main reason is closely related to the suspension of production and production of enterprises and institutions, segregation of people at home, and a sharp decline in the flow of people.

  However, it is worth noting that during the epidemic, complaints of illegal smoking in public areas such as corridors, pedestrian ladders, and elevator rooms of community residents increased significantly.

  From late January to the end of February alone, there were as many as 598 complaints of illegal smoking in Beijing community residents' buildings. A small number of "smokers" who smoke in the home are afraid of affecting the health of their families and children, but seriously ignore the public health benefits. Smoking in apartment elevators, corridors, and corridors has caused other residents to suffer from second-hand smoke. (Finish)
