世界無煙日 World No Tobacco Day
This year's observance of World No Tobacco Day focuses on"Gender and tobacco,with an emphasis on marketing to women".
今年的世界無煙日，關注“性別與煙草，強調對女性的營銷”。
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.
雖然不到10名女性中有1名女性吸煙者，但仍有200000000名婦女在全世界估計有名婦女被吸煙。而且，這個數字可能會增長，因為煙草業在廣告上投入巨資，針對婦女和聯想煙草使用的廣告與美和解放。
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.
據世界衛生組織最近的一項調查顯示，有一半的女孩和男孩在調查的151個國家中大約有一半是平等的。這一發現更令人擔憂，因為吸煙的年輕人很可能在成年后繼續繼續下去。
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.
有證據表明，在一些國家，婦女使用煙草的患病率在上升。各國政府都必須采取行動，保護婦女不受煙草控制的“世界衛組織公約”規定的煙草廣告、促銷和贊助。
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.
該公約還呼吁各國政府保護婦女免受二手煙草煙霧的保護，特別是在婦女認為自己無力保護自己和子女的國家。正如世衛組織數據顯示，每年死于二手煙的430000名成年人中，有近三分之二名是女性。
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，每年有超過1500000名婦女死于煙草使用。大多數這些死亡發生在低收入和中等收入國家。如果沒有協調一致的行動，這一數字可能會上升到2500000，2030歲的女性。
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.
我們必須把全球煙草流行化。在世界無煙日，我呼吁各國政府應對這一公共衛生威脅。煙草使用是不時尚的或授權的。它是丑陋和致命的。
