A cigarette contains approximately 4‚000 toxic substances and 60 carcinogenics.
Although almost all smokers are aware of the harmful effects of smoking‚ quitting the habit is easier said than done.
Quitting smoking is one of the top new year resolutions‚
and researches show that to-be dads often cite it as one of their top priorities.
Nicotine‚ together with the characteristic smell of cigarette‚ makes it difficult to quit smoking.
With health-consciousness everywhere‚ Korea has joined the international efforts to actively inform the public of the harms of smoking through provocative campaigns and by increasing the number of smoke-free zones.
[Interview : Kim Eun-ji‚ Secretary-general
Korean Association of Smoking and Health] "Korea is one of the countries that are trying to minimize the damages caused by secondhand smoking. One step that we've taken is to devise an anti-smoking ordinance. Its enactment has contributed greatly to our cause‚ and it should be expanded further."
Seoul Square is one of the busiest public areas in this city.
On March 1st‚ Seoul‚ Cheonggye‚ and Gwanghwamun Squares were designated as smoke-free zones‚ and active PR activities have been carried out since then.
[Interview : Kim Yong-sik‚ Seoul resident] "Even if I smoke‚ it's wrong it affects others."
[Interview : Lee Hui-sang‚ Seoul resident] "I think it's only fair that crowded resting areas are designated as smoke-free zones."
[Interview : Baek Dae-hyeon‚ Chief of the Health Promotion Team
Seoul Metropolitan Government] "Those who smoke on the streets or in public areas are putting everybody else at risk as well as damaging the clean environment. To combat this problem‚ we came up with an ordinance against secondhand smoking‚ which came into effect on March 1st."
Aimed to minimize the damaging effects of secondhand smoking on citizens‚ this campaign is driven in part by anti-smoking experts who have decided to join in the efforts for a smoke-free Seoul.
[Interview : Seo Jeong-ok‚ Volunteer
Smoke-Free Seoul Campaign] "Thanks to our PR activities‚ the number of smokers has decreased and those who do smoke know which areas are smoke-free zones. Also‚ when we approach people who are smoking out of habit‚ most of them automatically put out their cigarettes and apologize."
Most passers-by‚ both smokers and nonsmokers‚ support the idea of designating smoke-free zones to protect the health of citizens and to create a pleasant environment.
[Interview : PD
] "Did you know this was a smoke-free zone[Interview : ] "I had no idea. I'll be more careful next time. I support the idea of creating smoke-free zones. I have my own children to think about. Smokers can go to the areas where smoking is allowed."
After three months of PR activities‚ the city government plans to impose a fine of US$90 on those who smoke within the smoke-free zones starting June of this year. It also intends to gradually expand these zones to include the bus stops in the center lanes and other public places by December.
One of the most important challenges that we must face to make Korea smoke-free is changing the stylish and appealing designs of cigarette packets in Korea. They are a stark contrast to those sold in other countries‚ which include disturbing images that warn of the dangers of smoking.
According to a survey that asked about the seriousness of the warning sent across by cigarette packets‚ those sold in Korea were chosen to be the least serious.
[Interview : Kim Eun-ji‚ Secretary-general
Korean Association of Smoking and Health] "In Korea‚ many cigarette packets have been upgraded with stylish designs that can appeal to women and teenagers. Some even carry images and texts that promote Korea. All in all‚ these trends are very worrisome. I think it's high time t
