After four years and three nominations, Xie Jianping was elected as an academician of the Department of Environment and Textile Engineering of China Academy of Engineering. On the morning of the 8th 10, Liu Zhifeng, a well-known netizen, posted a post in Tencent Weibo to bombard Xie Jianping, a new academician. The Weibo immediately triggered a large number of netizens to forward and comment, which became one of the hot topics on the Internet. Liu Zhifeng admits that he has no personal grudge against Xie Jianping, and calling him a "killing academician" is a bit extreme. However, he insists that it is a longer-term and more hidden "killing" to reduce everyone's prevention of health hazards by using cigarettes to "reduce coke and harm". This research has essentially helped tobacco and studied high-efficiency killing? Many people, including Fang, questioned that the election of "Tobacco Academician" was a study of "reducing harm and reducing coke", which helped tobacco companies to sell cigarettes in disguise and objectively encouraged people to smoke more cigarettes, which would eventually increase the smoking rate of China people. This is a false proposition, and reducing coke can't reduce the harm at all, which is a scientific truth recognized all over the world.
Yang Gonghuan, deputy director of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that Xie Jianping's research was "nothing new". For decades, thousands of studies in many countries have proved that there are no slimming and additives, including traditional Chinese medicine, that can make cigarettes "harm-reducing". Yang Gonghuan said that "low tar is not equal to low harm" is a scientifically proven truth, but some scientists study "reducing coke and harm" to serve tobacco merchants.
Fang cited the provisions of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which clearly pointed out: "It is false, misleading and deceptive to use the words' low tar' in tobacco products. Cigarettes with very low tar and low tar have the same risk of lung cancer death as cigarettes with medium tar. " Regarding Xie Jianping's innovative research on selectively reducing harmful components in cigarette smoke by adding Chinese herbal medicine, Fang Zhouzi pointed out that "reducing coke is deceptive enough, and this Chinese herbal medicine is more harmful to people." "Tobacco is harmful to people, and it is not appropriate for people who study tobacco to be elected as academicians. It's a joke. " Fang stressed that it is not feasible to reduce the harm of tobacco through research, and the fundamental way is to "ban smoking"
The "Global Adult Tobacco Survey-China Part" issued by China CDC shows that a large number of scientific studies show that the health risks of low tar cigarettes have not been reduced. However, China's tobacco companies still use "scientific and technological innovation to reduce coke and harm" as marketing means to mislead the public. According to the survey, 86% people don't understand the wrong view that "low tar equals low harm". Among them, the misunderstanding of medical staff is as high as 54.7%. There is reason to say:
B. Shorgan, vice president of the Engineering Institute, said when answering questions that he was not in the Department of Environment and Textile Engineering and didn't know the professional situation, so he couldn't jump to judgment or answer professional questions. "Different academic viewpoints are also allowed. Different ideas can be reflected to the Academy of Engineering, and we are responsible for it." .
B. Shorgan said it was difficult to answer whether the Academy of Engineering would consider the independence and public welfare of research in the academician election. "I don't know if this is the case." . At the same time, he believes that after two rounds of elections, and the election is not one vote and two votes, but so many academicians vote together, "it always makes sense", but you need to ask professionals to know the details.
B. Schorgen also expressed hope for newly elected academicians, hoping that they would be "more modest, prudent, objective and fair, and treat others equally" after being elected, not claiming to be "authoritative", maintain a good style of study, continue to exert their professional expertise in the field of engineering science and technology, blaze new trails and strive for self-improvement, and make new and greater contributions to promoting China's engineering science and technology progress, promoting social and economic development, and building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Contribution theory:
"I used to question and oppose tobacco experts as academicians. After all, smoking is harmful to health and the medical expenses incurred are huge. " On February, 2065438+0165438 10, Academician Wei said that there were two main reasons for voting this time.
First of all, China people have a long history of smoking, and hundreds of millions of people have bad habits and habits of smoking. It is difficult to change the status quo. Xie Jianping's research on "reducing coke and harm" plays a great role in tobacco control. Won the national invention award and the second prize of national scientific and technological progress for three times, and applied for many invention patents. His research achievements have been recognized and popularized.
Second, the tobacco industry is a big taxpayer in China, and tobacco taxation plays an important role in national construction. "From this perspective, the country still needs the tobacco industry. Tobacco control is a gradual process, and' reducing coke and reducing harm' is a necessary stage to solve the smoking problem. " "Coke reduction is not to admit that it is harmless, but to reduce tar to a lower level. Smokers don't like it and think smoking is boring. " Wei explained that tobacco control has a gradual process. In addition to the propaganda and management of tobacco control, not smoking in public places affects others and children, and the study of "reducing coke and harm" is also an important aspect. Academician Wei said that similar to the contradiction between economic development and environmental pollution, smoking and tobacco control also need to weigh the pros and cons, compromise and balance each other, and we cannot treat this issue absolutely.
Academician Lu Shixin, Institute of Cancer, China Academy of Medical Sciences, said: "Most of China's tobacco research focuses on the chemical analysis of tobacco itself to improve the quality of cigarette products, and there is not much research on reducing harmful chemicals in cigarettes." He advocates controlling the harm of tobacco to human beings by reducing the content of harmful substances in cigarettes. This is consistent with the research direction and achievements of Academician Xie Jianping.
Academician Zhu Zunquan of China Academy of Engineering once expressed the same view: Academician Xie Jianping made a great breakthrough in the research of cigarette harm reduction.
