据香港食物及卫生局官员透露,香港的整体吸烟率由之前的23%,下降至近期的10.7%。政府将以降低吸烟率至个位数为目标,做好控烟工作。卫生部门表示,如今水烟、电子烟在市面流行,对青年人有很大的吸引力。政府将继续透过宣传教育、立法执法和征税等方式,多管齐下减低烟草使用率,特别是青少年对烟草的使用率。

According to officials from the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau, the overall smoking rate in Hong Kong dropped from the previous 23% to 10.7% in the recent period. The government will aim to reduce smoking rates to single digits and do a good job in tobacco control. The health department said that hookah and electronic cigarettes are now on the market and are very attractive to young people. The government will continue to reduce the tobacco use rate, especially the youth tobacco use rate, through public education, law enforcement and tax collection.
