Have you ever walked behind someone who’s smoking and wished the air was fresher? 😷
In Shanghai, people are working together to stop what’s called ‘walking smoke.’ That’s when people smoke while walking, and the smoke drifts into the air around them. This can make the air dirty and isn’t good for anyone’s health!
What’s Being Done?
Shanghai has started special campaigns at popular places like the Bund, Nanjing Road, and Xintiandi to encourage people not to smoke in public areas. Volunteers are kindly reminding people to put out their cigarettes, and there are signs everywhere that say ‘No Smoking.’ 🚭
Why Is This Important?
Breathing in secondhand smoke can harm our lungs, even if we’re not the ones smoking. It can make it harder to breathe and can cause other health problems. That’s why many people in Shanghai are happy about these new efforts! 😊
How You Can Help
- If you see someone smoking where they shouldn’t, you can tell a nearby adult or volunteer.
- Encourage friends and family who smoke to do so in designated areas.
- Learn more about the dangers of smoking and share what you know with others!
Together, we can help make the air cleaner and healthier. Remember, fresh air means happy lungs! 🌬️💖
