　　UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Message for World No Tobacco Day

　　31 May, 2010

　　联合国秘书长2010年世界无烟日致辞

　　2010年5月31日
　　This year’s observance of World No Tobacco Day focuses on “Gender and tobacco, with an emphasis on marketing to women”.
　　今年世界无烟日活动的主题是“两性与烟草——关注针对女性的促销行为”。
　　Although fewer than 1 out of 10 women are smokers, that still adds up to an estimated 200 million women around the world. Moreover, that number could grow, since the tobacco industry is spending heavily on advertisements that target women and associate tobacco use with beauty and liberation.
　　虽然只有不到十分之一的女性吸烟，但这仍使全世界女烟民人数近达两亿。而且，由于烟草企业花巨资制作针对女性的广告，将烟草与美丽和妇女解 放挂钩，这一数字还有可能增长。
　　According to a recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of girls and boys who smoked was about equal in half the 151 countries surveyed. This finding is even more worrisome since young people who smoke are likely to continue in adulthood.
　　世界卫生组织近期对151个国家的调查显示，有一半国家，男孩和女孩的吸烟人数不相上下。由于青少年在成年后很可能继续吸烟，这一结果越发 令人担忧。
　　Evidence indicates that the prevalence rate of tobacco use among women is on the rise in some countries. Governments everywhere must take action to protect women from tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, as stipulated in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
　　有证据表明，一些国家妇女烟草使用率在上升。各国政府必须采取行动，根据《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的规定，保护妇女远离烟草广告、 促销和赞助活动。
　　The Convention also calls on Governments to protect women from second-hand tobacco smoke — especially in countries where women feel powerless to protect themselves and their children. As WHO data show, of the 430,000 adults who die each year from second-hand smoke, nearly two thirds are women.
　　这项公约还呼吁各国政府保护妇女远离二手烟雾，在妇女感觉无力保护自己和子女的国家尤应如此。世界卫生组织的数据显示，在每年因二手烟雾死 亡的60万人当中，近三分之二为妇女。
　　Around the world, more than 1.5 million women die each year from tobacco use. Most of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Without concerted action, that number could rise to 2.5 million women by the year 2030.
　　在世界各地，每年有超过150万妇女死于烟草使用。其中大多数死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。如果不采取协调一致的行动，到2030年， 这一数字将可能达到250万。
　　We must turn back the global tobacco epidemic. On World No Tobacco Day, I urge all Governments to address this public health threat. Tobacco use is not stylish or empowering. It is ugly and deadly.
　　我们必须遏制全球烟草流行。值此世界无烟日之际，我敦促各国政府设法应对这一公共健康威胁。使用烟草既不时尚也不强身。使用烟草是一种致人 于死命的陋习。
