"I`m not worried about my 16-year-old son getting into smoking," said Chen Qing, a 46-year-old Beijing cab driver who has smoked 10 cigarettes a day for 20 years.

世界肺脏基金会的高级联络官陆彬表示,预防教育在说服青少年禁烟中发挥着重要作用。
"Preventive education plays a important role in convincing adolescents not to smoke," said Lu Bin, senior communications officer of World Lung Foundation.
她还指出,媒体也应该承担一些职责,禁止刊登引诱青少年吸烟的内容。
Media should shoulder some of the responsibility by not presenting material that would entice them to smoke, she said.

Scientific research has found that smoking causes more than 25 serious diseases endangering life and health, including lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, stroke and impotence, Lu said.
她还表示,由吸烟造成的疾病会引发医药费增加、劳动力丧失、早逝以及家庭收入减少,这些都将给家庭和社会带来巨大损失。
"Illnesses resulting from smoking cause medical costs to increase, a loss of productivity, early death and a decrease in family income. These things lead to tremendous harm to the family and society," she said.
