Recently, the "cigarette card" game has become the new favorite of primary school students, which has attracted attention.

According to reports, "cigarette cards" are generally made of discarded cigarette cases. During the break, students get together and play "cigarette cards" on the ground, and the cards are graded according to the grade of cigarettes. Whoever owns more cards and is expensive will have "showing off" capital.

However, some parents in Meizhou, Guangdong reported that under the popularity of "cigarette cards", there were even cigarette hotel merchants who took the opportunity to sell cigarettes to their children and recycled cigarettes from cigarette cases at the price of 5 yuan.

In this regard, the staff of Meizhou Tobacco Bureau responded to China Newsweek, checked with relevant departments, and sent people to the scene to warn the businesses involved.

The staff of Meijiang District Education Bureau in Meizhou told China Newsweek that a letter sent to parents and shops around the campus had a certain effect, but it was difficult to completely eliminate the "cigarette card", and relevant content would be added to the theme class meeting to carry out publicity and education. If a school reflected the relevant situation, it would contact relevant departments in time to coordinate the disposal.

The reporter found out that schools or education departments in Tianshui, Changsha and Guangzhou recently issued an initiative to prohibit students from playing "cigarette cards".

On May 20th, Gansu Tianshui Education Bureau issued the Proposal on Prohibiting Students from Playing Tobacco Card Games, listing in detail the tangible and intangible hazards of tobacco card games, reminding parents not to provide their children with tobacco cards and not to let their children bring them into the campus. Once the school finds that students bring tobacco cards into the school, or find that students are playing tobacco cards in the school.

This initiative has also triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. Should students be banned from playing "cigarette cards"?

In this regard, the staff of Gansu Tianshui Education Bureau responded to China Newsweek and issued the initiative "mainly because the’ cigarette card’ is different from the previous paper card and may induce students’ potential smoking (behavior)." After the previous arrangement, it was found that some merchants around the school sold "cigarette cards".

Regarding the online dispute, the staff member said, "Our starting point is that the’ cigarette card’ is not a paper card. Some students have been picking up the’ cigarette card’ along the way and rummaging in the trash can, which will have some impact on personal health. Some children’s knowledge of cigarette cases has exceeded parents’ cognition, both in terms of brand and price. "

In response to China Newsweek, the staff of Jinan Education Bureau has been asking schools to educate students on tobacco control. Some schools intend to issue a proposal to parents, "advocating parents to pay attention to whether their children have this behavior and have a sense of smoking ban in front of their children." I am worried that the "cigarette card" game will expose children to tobacco too much, and who will form a "cigarette card" that is more beautiful or upscale.

The staff of Changsha Education Bureau told China Newsweek to remind and crack down on the sale of goods around the campus that are not conducive to young students, including knives and cigarettes, so as to avoid premature contact of minors. The surrounding merchants were jointly rectified by the market supervision and cultural departments, and the education department immediately reminded the school of safety, asking the school to go around the campus and inform the relevant law enforcement departments to investigate and deal with it.
