【北京美国中心活动】世界无烟日活动: 让年轻人保持无烟状态，5月30日，18：30

自 1988 年以来，世界卫生组织 (WHO) 每年 5 月 31 日庆祝世界无烟日，以引起全球对烟草蔓延以及与烟草有关的可预防死亡和疾病的关注。今年的重点是让人们关注烟草行业吸引年轻人的企图，我们的目的是让年轻人保持无烟状态并帮助他们成功永久戒烟。

据世界卫生组织称，每年有超过 800 万人死于与烟草使用相关的原因。在全球范围内，儿童使用电子烟的比例高于成人；全球估计有 3700 万 13 至 15 岁的青少年使用各种形式的烟草。在美国，22.2% 的美国初中生和高中生（621 万人）报告曾经使用过任何烟草产品；2023 年，10.0% 的学生（280 万）报告目前使用任何烟草产品。

5 月 30 日 18:30 在北京美国中心加入我们。来自美国疾病预防控制中心、美国国立卫生研究院和食品药品监督管理局的专家将从不同角度探讨美国在减少青少年烟草使用方面所做的努力。此外，我们还将请一位来自北京和睦家医院的医生分享他在帮助中国青少年减少烟草使用方面的经验和资源。

Since 1988, the World Health Organization (WHO) has celebrated World No Tobacco Days on May 31, to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease related to its use. This year’s focus is bringing attention to the tobacco industry’s attempts to attract youth, and keeping young people tobacco-free and helping them successfully quit for good.

According to WHO, more than 8 million people die every year from causes related to tobacco use. Across the globe, children are using e-cigarettes at rates higher than adults; globally an estimated 37 million youth aged 13-15 years use tobacco in all forms. In the U.S., 22.2% of U.S. middle and high school students (6.21 million) reported ever using any tobacco product; 10.0% of students (2.80million) reported current use of any tobacco product in 2023.

Join us at 18:30 on May 30 at the Beijing American Center. Experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration will talk about what the U.S. is doing to reduce tobacco use among youth from different perspectives. In addition, we will have a doctor from the Beijing United Family Hospital to share his experiences and resources available to help reduce tobacco use among youth in China.
