烟草在线据CPV/VOV报道编译　　越南每年有4万人死于烟草使用，而这个致命的数字到2030年预计将达7万人。

　　5月22日，在河内由世界卫生组织（WHO）召开的新闻简报会上，卫生部（MOH）和胡志明共产主义青年联盟为响应世界无烟日及5月22日至31日全国无烟周的号召，公布了这一数据，并提出一项应对预防烟草危害的法律草案。

　　卫生部报告显示，三分之二的非吸烟者，主要是妇女和儿童，被认为是二手烟或被动吸烟者，他们在家里和公共场所都会吸入卷烟烟雾。

　　卫生部计划在正在进行的国民议会会议上提交预防烟草危害的法律草案。该法侧重于减少需求和提高只能在指定区域吸烟的公共意识，以减轻烟雾对非吸烟者的有害影响。

　　健康检查和治疗部负责人Duong Ngoc Khue表示，他希望，为了健康，所有的越南人民都能支持该法律草案。

　　世界卫生组织在越南的代表呼吁各国采取措施，集中抵制烟草业的干扰，有效控制烟草生产在全球的开展。

World No Tobacco Day marked in Vietnam

　　Tobacco kills 40,000 people per year in Vietnam and that fatal figure is expected to reach 70,000 by 2030.

　　This information was released at a press briefing in Hanoi on May 22 held by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in response to World No Tobacco Day, National No Tobacco Week from May 22 to 31 and to introduce a draft law on tobacco harm prevention.

　　The MoH reported that two thirds of non-smokers, mainly women and children, are considered second-hand or passive smokers who have to breathe in smoke at home and in public places.

　　The ministry is scheduled to submit the draft law on tobacco harm prevention to the ongoing National Assembly session. The law focuses on reducing demand and improving public awareness of smoking cigarettes only in designated areas in order to cushion its harmful effects on non-smokers.

　　Duong Ngoc Khue, head of the Health Examination and Treatment Department, expressed his hope that all Vietnamese people will support the draft law for the sake of their health.

　　A WHO representative in Vietnam called on countries to take the fight against tobacco industry interference at centerpiece to effectively control the global unhealthy practice.
