30 Academician Joint Anti-Chinese Cigarette Finalist Technology Award Silenced by Tobacco Monopoly Bureau

30 Academician Joint Anti-Chinese Cigarette Finalist Science and Technology Awards Appraisal Awards The relevant officials of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau expressed silence; “Academician of tobacco” should be elected, the Chinese Academy of Engineering is still discussing

The "Cigarette Finalist Technology Award" has made new progress. Yesterday, the “Journal of China Science” published a news that 30 Chinese academicians jointly opposed the “Chinese cigarette” as a national science and technology progress award, causing a sensation. The reporter called the "Chinese Cigarette" recommendation unit, the National Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, the Information Department and several other relevant personnel to express silence on the matter.

Prior to this, whether the “Academician of Tobacco” Xie Jianping should be elected has caused further discussion. Yesterday, Xu Ligan, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that he had not yet reached a preliminary opinion on the matter and he was still working. "It is not a simple matter. When there is news, we will take the initiative to inform the media."

Academician of Tobacco

Xie Jianping Vice President of the Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation.

On December 8, 2011, he was elected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Environment and Light Textile Engineering Department, and was called “academician of tobacco” by public opinion. He has long been engaged in applied research work on tobacco chemistry, tobacco flavoring, and cigarette reduction and harm reduction.

Opposing academicians

Zhong Nanshan led one of the academicians who opposed the inclusion of Chinese cigarettes in the National Science and Technology Awards.

Zhong Nanshan said that he could not see that Chinese cigarettes had any benefit to the human body and was not suitable for the National Science and Technology Award. And "The defocusing done by Xie Jianping is very beautiful and there are many creations. But I don't see any harm reduction."

Should cigarettes not be finalists in science and technology?

Academician shouts for national image

On March 22nd, the State Science and Technology Awards Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology issued an announcement No. 67 to publicize the 2012 National Science and Technology Progress Award acceptance list. Among them, the “Chinese cigarette characteristics theory system construction and application” recommended by the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is among them. Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology responded that the issue of participation in the Cigarette Science and Technology Awards is proceeding according to procedures. In this regard, 30 academicians shouted: The relevant departments should seriously face public expectations and national image and give a clear explanation to the society as soon as possible.

The reporter noticed that the 30 academicians who opposed the joint project were mostly from the Department of Medicine and Hygiene of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The signatures of the academicians were Qin Boyi and Zhong Nanshan.

On the official website of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, a message can tell that they attach importance to the National Science and Technology Awards. "In the notice of the tobacco industry leaders in science and technology and the management of academic leaders (for trial implementation)", it was clearly stated that the selection of leading scientists and technicians must have certain scientific research achievements and must meet at least two of the eight conditions. Among them, the first one includes "having won the national science and technology award."

Should the "academician of tobacco" be elected?

Questioning Xie Jianping's Silence

It is reported that after the Spring Festival this year, the Presidium of the Academy of Engineering, the Department of Medicine and Hygiene, the Academician of the Ministry of Environment and Light Textile Engineering, and Xie Jianping have all been summoned to the Academy of Engineering and conducted a morning "Academic Defence Conference."

On April 10th, the Chinese Academy of Engineering continued to discuss the issue of “Xie Jianping’s elected academician”. “Xie Jianping was selected by the Ministry of Environment and Light Textile Engineering. The majority of academicians in the Department of Medicine and Hygiene are skeptical,” the academician said.

The reporter also learned that at the meeting, several academicians from the Department of Medicine and Hygiene also tried to explain Xie Jianping’s chances, but Xie Jianping did not speak in addition to the initial 30 minutes.

It is reported that some of the people who voted for the same vote for Xie Jianping’s academicians voted on the “three national science and technology progress awards” obtained by Xie Jianping.

Yesterday, Academician Qin Boyi stated that he advocated the repeal of the title of academician Xie Jianping because his research focused on “reducing harm and reducing coke” as the main attack direction. The effect of “reducing harm” of “defocusing” had been rejected by many foreign scholars for more than half a century. Xie Jianping Did not come up with any experimental material enough to overturn previous conclusions.

Academician Qin Boyi suggested that the “reconsideration” of Xie Jianping’s application materials should be conducted by the Bureau of the Engineering Academy.

The tobacco industry always regards it as a large national taxpayer as its own outstanding performance. As everyone knows, the state's income from tobacco tax is not enough to pay for medical expenses caused by tobacco smoke, let alone other kinds of losses. If the government only sees the taxes paid by the tobacco industry and ignores the harm caused by cigarette smoke to smokers and many innocent people, is it still a "people-oriented" "scientific development"? Is that still responsible to the people?

- Qin Boyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences

The higher the economic efficiency of the tobacco industry, the greater the harm to the health of ordinary people. The National Science and Technology Progress Award openly sang to Taiwan Opera with the provisions of the "National Science and Technology Progress Law," damaging national interests, social security, and people's health. It is unbearable.

- Dialogue

Yesterday, Academician Zhong Nanshan expressed his views on the two issues of the “Cigarette Finalist Science and Technology Award” and “Xie Jianping” elected academicians.

1 Technology Award to Improve People's Health

Beijing News: This time boycotted the "Chinese-style cigarettes short-listed science and technology award". Why did the academician Qin Boyi lead the opposition?

Zhong Nanshan: The content of the so-called “Construction and Application of Chinese Cigarette Characteristics Theory System” is that the key is to adjust fragrance, make taste better, and promote more people to smoke. The ultimate goal of the National Science and Technology Progress Award is to improve the people’s living standards. The core is the level of health.

Beijing News: Some people questioned, involving nuclear reactors and other high-tech projects, there will be radioactive contamination, why can award.

Zhong Nanshan: That was different. The new atomic bomb or weapons to defend the country, the purpose of the "enemy."

Beijing News: Cigarettes are nominated for national science and technology awards more than once. It is reported that tobacco study of 10 July National Science and Technology Progress Award. The first academician involved in tobacco was Zhu Zunquan, who was already in his second year.

Zhong Nanshan: At that time, China had not joined the World Health Organization’s Foreign Tobacco Framework Convention. It was signed by China in 2003 and implemented throughout China in 2007.

Beijing News: The official website of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau mentioned that it requires contradictions and leaders of science and technology leaders in the tobacco industry. Do you feel contradictory?

Zhong Nanshan: the need. There is a study abroad, that kind of powdered smoke, after smoking does not want to suck, I am very much in favor of it, this is also the study of tobacco, the key is the research technology used to do what.

2 Mainstream voices against the election of academician of tobacco

Beijing News: You are one of the members of the fifth session of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Did you vote in favour of the same vote when the newly elected academician elected the academician of tobacco in 2011?

Zhong Nanshan: The main task of the presidium is to check, and whether the procedures of various departments are correct. At the time, I felt that the statute was flawed and that the person who studied tobacco was very obvious. The Bureau did not have a special vote. There was no such step.

Beijing News: Xie Jianping's "focus reduction and harm reduction" Why can't we see harm reduction?

Zhong Nanshan: There is a lack of observation of people and observation of various physiology. Whether he smokes his cigarette or not can reduce the harm. There is no indication of this problem. It's that simple.

Beijing News: The academicians who opposed the "Certificate for Science and Technology Award for Cigarettes", including those who oppose the "academician of tobaccos," are all concentrated in the medical and health field.

Zhong Nanshan: The voice of opposition is the mainstream view. I have also met with individual academicians, and some disagree with this view. At the same time, the medical and health departments are also concerned about human health.
