Normative analysis of tobacco product packaging warning articles
Due to the negative influence of the existing commercial interests in the exclusive mode of tobacco monopoly,there are some problems such as fuzzy value target,lack of institutional improvement motivation,and weak social effectiveness.Meanwhile,the characteristics of concentrated management are also significant institu-tional advantages of promoting the improvement of the warning articles of tobacco products packaging in China.The study of tobacco packaging warning articles can be deconstructed and constructed from three aspects:organization articles,identification object articles and value articles.In terms of organization articles,the traditional supervision mode with tobacco monopoly license as the starting point and carrier should gradually strengthen the leading position of health departments such as the National Health Commission,strengthen cooperation with other social organiza-tions that have no affiliation with the tobacco industry,set up restraint of competition,enhance the independence of relevant regulatory subjects,and create a good environment for smoking cessation.The type of the object articles of the logo shows that the content of the warning is less targeted and the warning effects are not strong.It is necessary to strengthen the persuasion and scientific support of the warning and improve the rotation system of the warning.The inherent contradiction of the value objectives in the value articles needs to be solved by clarifying the value es-sences of the warning articles which are"reducing smoking demand"and"protecting people's health".If the goals of the"Healthy China 2030"and the commitment of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control are to be realized as scheduled,the healthy rights and humanity must be truly implemented.The planned management model of tobac-co monopoly can still help to make the warning articles on the packaging of tobacco products in China more effective.
