Recently, in a school in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province,
An attentive female teacher
Found something called a "cigarette card".
The cards look ordinary and colorful,
The pattern is also interesting,
It's easy to catch the eye of children.
However, the female teacher discovered the big problem behind these cards.
It turns out that these "cigarette cards" are actually a means used by tobacco companies to induce teens to be exposed to tobacco.
Imagine,
The cards are printed with the logos and advertisements of various tobacco brands, and the children are playing with them.
may have a favorable opinion of these brands,
It may even lead to the idea of trying to smoke.
This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for teenagers who are in a critical period of growth.
This discovery has shocked and worried many parents and educators.
They are beginning to realize that
This seemingly harmless "cigarette card",
In fact, it is silently threatening the healthy growth of children.
As a result, primary schools in many places have taken measures.
A ban was issued on "cigarette cards".
However, the ban is only the first step.
What's more,
How can we ensure that this ban is actually enforced effectively?
And how to fundamentally eliminate the impact of this implicit marketing on teenagers?
First, we need to strengthen regulation of tobacco advertising.
Tobacco advertising is one of the main ways to induce young people to be exposed to tobacco.
A lot of tobacco companies will do it in a variety of ways,
For example, TV, Internet, outdoor advertising, etc.,
to promote your products.
These advertisements are often full of all kinds of temptations and misleading, and it is easy for teenagers to develop the urge to smoke.
We need to pass legislation and other means,
Strictly restrict the content and distribution channels of tobacco advertising,
Make sure teens are not exposed to this harmful information.
We also need to strengthen regulations on tobacco brands.
Some tobacco brands may use other means,
For example, sponsorship events, gifts, etc.,
to do implicit marketing to teens.
These ways tend to be more subtle,
It's easier to overlook the harm behind it.
Therefore, we need to strengthen the regulation of these brands to prevent them from using various means to induce young people to be exposed to tobacco.
In addition to strengthening supervision,
We also need to strengthen health education for adolescents.
Young people are the future and hope of the motherland,
Their healthy growth is related to the future of the whole society. Therefore, we need to educate through schooling,
family education and other ways,
Educate young people about the dangers of tobacco,
Let them know about the serious effects of smoking on their health.
We also need to guide young people to establish a healthy concept of life.
Let them know that a healthy lifestyle is the most important thing.
In the process of health education,
There are some interesting ways we can do it.
For example, through interactive games, role-playing and other activities,
Let children learn about the dangers of tobacco in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
We can also invite some professionals to come to the school to give lectures or hold some theme activities.
Let children learn more about the dangers of tobacco and how to resist the temptation of tobacco.
In addition to strengthening health education,
We also need to strengthen governance of the social environment.
The social environment has a crucial impact on the development of adolescents.
Therefore, we need to strengthen the support for Internet cafes,
supervision of places such as game halls,
Prevent teens from indulging in bad behaviors such as online games.
At the same time, we also need to strengthen the social and cultural
Create a positive, healthy and progressive cultural atmosphere.
For example, we can encourage children to participate in some healthy and beneficial activities such as sports and art.
Let them develop hobbies and healthy habits in these activities.
We also need the support and cooperation of the family.
Parents are the first teachers of their children.
Their words and deeds have a crucial impact on children's development.
We need to educate parents about the dangers of tobacco so that they understand the dangers of tobacco and encourage children to stay away from it.
At the same time, we also need to encourage parents to accompany their children to participate in some healthy and beneficial activities, so that they can feel the warmth and love of the family.
The hidden concern of "cigarette card" is not only a local problem, but also a problem that the whole society needs to pay attention to and solve.
We need to start from a number of aspects.
strengthening the regulation of tobacco advertising,
Strengthen health education for adolescents,
Strengthen the governance of the social environment, etc.,
Jointly escort the healthy growth of teenagers.
Only in this way,
We can ensure that every child can thrive in a healthy, safe and uplifting environment.
