问题     尽管中国在控烟和禁烟方面做了大量工作,但其控烟形式依然严峻。
    目前,中国的烟草和烟制品的生产和消费占世界第一,因吸烟造成疾病的死亡率也占世界第一。中国现有3.5亿烟民,其中青少年吸烟人数达1.8亿,而被动吸烟人数高达5.4亿。中国每年死于与烟草相关疾病的人数高达100万,占全部死亡人数的12%。
    控烟难,一方面是由于一些地方政府部门的消极态度,因为烟草和烟制品可以创造大量税收和财政收入,带来地方GDP增长。另一方面是来自烟民的某些错误观念,许多烟民认为,吸烟可以消除疲劳、振奋精神、促进社交联谊、启发思考等。甚至有些烟民还认为吸烟能以毒攻毒,消除某些病害。
    中国承诺将在2011年实现室内工作场所、公交交通工具、室内公共场所全面禁烟。要实现这一目标,中国仍面临严峻的考验。

选项

答案     Despite the great efforts it has taken to ban smoking and restrict tobacco sales, China still faces a daunting challenge in persuading people to quit smoking.
    Currently, China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of tobacco and tobacco products, and in turn it has the highest death toll from the diseases related to smoking. The number of smokers in China is 350 million, 180 million of which are teenagers, while the number of people exposed to second-hand smoke/passive smoking is as high as 540 million. Smoking-related diseases kill as many as 1 million people in China every year, accounting for 12% of all deaths.
    One reason why it is hard to combat smoking is that local governments are reluctant to ban smoking and restrict tobacco sales which bring in huge taxes and massive revenues for them, increasing the GDP. Besides, part of the problem is that many smokers have some misconceptions about smoking. Many smokers believe that smoking can eliminate fatigue, invigorate spirits, promote social networking, and inspire thinking. Even some smokers think that smoking can fight poison with poison and eliminate some diseases.
    China has promised to ban smoking in indoor workplaces, public transport vehicles and indoor public places by 2011. To achieve this goal, China still faces a severe test.
