Parents smoking outside Shanghai schools will face closer scrutiny as the city launches inspections today to curb children’s exposure to secondhand smoke during school drop-offs and pickups.上海今日启动专项检查，针对在学校外吸烟的家长加强监管，以减少学生在上下学时段接触二手烟的情况。

The campaign covers entrances to primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and childcare institutions, as well as parents’ waiting areas and nearby crowded spaces.该宣传活动覆盖中小学、幼儿园及托育机构的入口区域，同时涵盖家长等候区与周边人员密集场所。

Shanghai’s patriotic health office and municipal education commission are coordinating the inspections and public outreach. District teams will visit selected schools and kindergartens, focusing on conditions around dismissal time.上海市爱国卫生办公室与市教委正在协调开展检查及公众宣传工作。各区工作组将走访选定的中小学和幼儿园，重点关注放学时段周边的相关情况。

Inspectors will check whether smoke-free campus signs are prominently displayed at entrances and waiting areas, and whether people seen smoking are promptly reminded to stop.检查人员将核查校门口及等候区是否醒目张贴无烟校园标识，以及是否对发现的吸烟人员及时予以劝阻。

The drive comes despite a substantial decline in smoking across the city. Shanghai’s adult smoking rate has fallen by 8.3 percentage points to 18.6 percent since tobacco-control legislation was introduced in 2010, reaching the Healthy China 2030 target ahead of schedule, according to the campaign announcement. It is the lowest rate among provincial-level regions on the Chinese mainland.尽管全市吸烟人数大幅减少，但这一行动仍在推进。据活动公告显示，自2010年控烟法规实施以来，上海成人吸烟率下降了8.3个百分点，降至18.6%，提前达成了《健康中国2030》目标，也是中国大陆省级行政区中吸烟率最低的地区。

However, 42 percent of nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke. A survey of 10,000 people conducted by the city’s health bureau and other organizations found that nearly 60 percent frequently encountered outdoor secondhand smoke. More than 90 percent disliked it, and over 70 percent found it unacceptable.然而，42%的非吸烟者会接触到二手烟。该市卫生局等机构开展的一项针对1万人的调查显示，近60%的人经常接触到户外二手烟。超过90%的人对此表示反感，70%以上的人认为这种情况无法接受。

Nearly 30 percent of respondents said they had encountered smoke at school gates while dropping off or collecting students.近30%的受访者表示，他们在接送学生时曾在校门口遇到过烟雾。

Shanghai’s regulations on protecting minors prohibit smoking and drinking in schools, kindergartens, areas near their gates and other public places where minors gather. Yet school entrances remain a weak point in tobacco control, the announcement said.上海市未成年人保护条例禁止在学校、幼儿园、校门周边及其他未成年人聚集的公共场所吸烟、饮酒。但公告称，学校入口仍是控烟工作的薄弱环节。

Beyond the inspection campaign, schools will assign responsibilities to tobacco-control supervisors, who will discourage smoking and cigarette-butt littering during busy arrival and departure periods.除了专项整治行动外，各学校还会为控烟督导员分配职责，他们将在上下学高峰时段劝阻吸烟行为并清理烟蒂垃圾。

Schools will also use parent groups and meetings to explain the rules, while encouraging students to pass smoke-free messages to their families. Authorities plan posters, short educational videos and other resources for schools.学校还将通过家长团体和会议来解释相关规定，同时鼓励学生向家人传递无烟信息。有关部门为学校规划了宣传海报、简短教育视频以及其他相关资源。

Parents are urged to refrain from smoking while waiting or collecting children. Those who smoke are asked to move away from crowded areas.恳请家长在等候或接送孩子时不要吸烟。吸烟的家长请远离人群密集的区域。
