On the 26th, the National Health Commission and the Representative Office of the World Health Organization in China jointly held a press conference to release the "Report on the Health Risks of Smoking in China 2020" on the occasion of the 34th World No Tobacco Day.
The report shows that there are more than 300 million smokers in my country, and the smoking rate of people aged 15 and over is 26.6%, among which the smoking rate of men is as high as 50.5%.
According to statistics, tobacco kills more than 1 million lives in my country every year. If effective actions are not taken, it is expected to increase to 2 million per year by 2030 and 3 million per year by 2050.
