Abstract

According to the survey, the main reason for the repeated prohibition of smoking in public places is that people generally do not have a specific and in-depth understanding of the harm of tobacco, so they often underestimate the cost of smoking and overestimate the benefits of smoking. Therefore, when new smokers intervene, due to the “social” factors of smoking and the “custom” of smoking freedom formed by the long-term publicity of smoking legitimacy, coupled with the influence of “conformity psychology,” the previous scruples about smoking in public places that did not involve many principles immediately disappear. This problem has shown multiple, complex sudden, group and other characteristics. Given the existing issues in the social contradiction resolution mechanism, it is urgent to take adequate measures to solve them, such as strengthening the public’s understanding of the harm of tobacco, government departments supporting tobacco control in public places and enhancing the construction of tobacco control laws and regulations, to realize and safeguard the public social interests fully.
