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.上海今日啓動專項檢查，針對在學校外吸菸的家長加強監管，以減少學生在上下學時段接觸二手菸的情況。

The campaign covers entrances to primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and childcare institutions, as well as parents’ waiting areas and nearby crowded spaces.該宣傳活動覆蓋中小學、幼兒園及托育機構的入口區域，同時涵蓋家長等候區與周邊人員密集場所。

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.上海市愛國衛生辦公室與市教委正在協調開展檢查及公衆宣傳工作。各區工作組將走訪選定的中小學和幼兒園，重點關注放學時段周邊的相關情況。

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.檢查人員將覈查校門口及等候區是否醒目張貼無煙校園標識，以及是否對發現的吸菸人員及時予以勸阻。

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.儘管全市吸菸人數大幅減少，但這一行動仍在推進。據活動公告顯示，自2010年控煙法規實施以來，上海成人吸菸率下降了8.3個百分點，降至18.6%，提前達成了《健康中國2030》目標，也是中國大陸省級行政區中吸菸率最低的地區。

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%的非吸菸者會接觸到二手菸。該市衛生局等機構開展的一項針對1萬人的調查顯示，近60%的人經常接觸到戶外二手菸。超過90%的人對此表示反感，70%以上的人認爲這種情況無法接受。

Nearly 30 percent of respondents said they had encountered smoke at school gates while dropping off or collecting students.近30%的受訪者表示，他們在接送學生時曾在校門口遇到過煙霧。

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.上海市未成年人保護條例禁止在學校、幼兒園、校門周邊及其他未成年人聚集的公共場所吸菸、飲酒。但公告稱，學校入口仍是控煙工作的薄弱環節。

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.除了專項整治行動外，各學校還會爲控煙督導員分配職責，他們將在上下學高峯時段勸阻吸菸行爲並清理菸蒂垃圾。

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.學校還將通過家長團體和會議來解釋相關規定，同時鼓勵學生向家人傳遞無煙信息。有關部門爲學校規劃了宣傳海報、簡短教育視頻以及其他相關資源。

Parents are urged to refrain from smoking while waiting or collecting children. Those who smoke are asked to move away from crowded areas.懇請家長在等候或接送孩子時不要吸菸。吸菸的家長請遠離人羣密集的區域。
