盖洛普的最新调查显示,25%的中国人承认自己经常抽烟,另有5%的人自称偶尔抽一下。去年五月,中国宣布在公共场合禁烟,随后进行了这项调查。
Three in 10 Chinese said they smoke regularly (25%) or occasionally (5%), according to Gallup surveys conducted after China's ban on smoking in public places took effect last May.
换言之,中国现有3.2亿成年人抽烟,已经超过美国人口总数。据估计,中国每年有一百万人死于吸烟引发的疾病,为民众面临的健康危机敲响警钟。
This translates to roughly 320 million adults — or more than the entire population of the United States — and underscores the potential health crisis China faces as it tries to reduce its annual estimated 1 million smoking-related deaths.
调查显示,中国每天约有3000人死于与吸烟有关的疾病,这个数字到2050年可能达到8000人。
Recent studies show that about 3,000 Chinese die each day from smoking-related diseases, and that the number could rise to 8,000 per day by 2050.
目前,六成中国男性承认抽烟,3%的女性自称抽烟。
The Gallup surveys found that about six in ten Chinese men say they smoke at least occasionally, compared to 3% of Chinese women.
中国烟民已占全世界烟民的三分之一,吸烟率在亚洲排名第二。印度尼西亚位居第一,三分之一的印尼人宣称自己抽烟。
China may account for one-third of the world's smokers, but its smoking rate ranks second in Asia as more than one-third of Indonesians say they smoke.
