Smoking is controlled in Beijing. Can I smoke in the hotel room?

Yes, the room belongs to personal privacy, but smoking is harmful to health. Try to smoke as little as possible.

Article 9 of the Beijing Regulations on Smoking Control stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places, indoor areas of workplaces and public transport. From the perspective of tobacco control, all places that the public can enter or use belong to public places. However, the hotel room belongs to personal space and does not involve public affairs, so you can smoke. If you are not in the room, you'd better not smoke.

Reasons for tobacco control:

public health

The harm of tobacco is one of the serious public health problems, and the World Health Organization has brought the tobacco epidemic problem into the key control field of global public health. As many as 2.5 million people die from smoking every year in the world, and tobacco is the first killer of mankind. China is a big country in tobacco production and consumption, with more than 300 million smokers, accounting for one third of the total number of smokers in the world.

In the smoking room, especially in the environment with closed doors and windows in winter, the room is not only filled with carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body, but also with carbon monoxide exhaled by smokers, which will make people feel headache, burnout and work efficiency decline.

What's more, the contents of tar and nicotine in the cold smoke exhaled by smokers are 1 times higher than those in the hot smoke inhaled by smokers, 2 times more benzopyrene, 4 times more carbon monoxide and 50 times more ammonia. In such a severe situation, tobacco control is imminent.

Harm the body

Long-term smoking will directly poison life: some people have obtained the following amazing results through animal experiments: a lively dog can be killed without injecting a drop of nicotine into the vein. In addition, after smoking for a long time, some animals can find that there is an obvious trend of vasoconstriction and even hardening.

Long-term smoking will destroy the nutrients of the human body: smoking will hinder the absorption of vitamin C, and nicotine will directly destroy vitamin C. If the human body lacks vitamin C for a long time, it may suffer from scurvy.

Long-term smoking can induce many diseases: because inhaled smoke has a malignant stimulating effect on respiratory tract, digestive tract and other organs, some people think that it is an inducing factor for gastric and duodenal ulcers, respiratory tract infections and even cancers such as mouth, lips, tongue, esophagus and respiratory tract.
