Abstract

The tobacco industry has a long history. The use of tobacco products caused controversy among leading doctors, scientists and economists for a long time. A huge number of studies have revealed the undoubted harm of tobacco use on human health. Despite the adoption of laws in many countries that prohibit or restrict smoking, the tobacco industry is still one of the leading branches of the economy. Whereas the harm caused by tobacco products to the human body has been thoroughly studied, and the composition of cigarette smoke has been identified with an accuracy of 7,000 different chemical elements, the damage caused to nature has not yet been discovered. In this study, we will assess the impact of the tobacco industry on the environment. In order to do this, we will consider all stages of the existence of tobacco products: from the cultivation of tobacco leaves to direct consumption and subsequent disposal of cigarette butts. Each of the stages contains clear and threats to the environment. The study is based on the experience of China as one of the largest tobacco producers and consumers. China is a country experiencing serious environmental problems, but plans to reach the level of carbon neutrality by 2060. The result of our analysis will be a quantitative assessment of the harm (in particular, CO2 emissions) caused by the tobacco industry to the environment in China, as well as recommendations for reducing the calculated effect.
吸烟还是呼吸?评估烟草业对环境的影响
烟草业有着悠久的历史。长期以来,烟草产品的使用在著名医生、科学家和经济学家中引起了争议。大量的研究表明,吸烟对人体健康的危害是不容置疑的。尽管许多国家通过了禁止或限制吸烟的法律,但烟草业仍然是经济的主要部门之一。尽管烟草制品对人体造成的危害已被彻底研究过,香烟烟雾的成分已被准确地鉴定出7000种不同的化学元素,但对自然造成的损害尚未被发现。在这项研究中,我们将评估烟草业对环境的影响。为此,我们将考虑烟草制品存在的所有阶段:从种植烟叶到直接消费和随后处理烟头。每个阶段都包含对环境的明确和威胁。这项研究基于中国作为最大的烟草生产国和消费国之一的经验。中国是一个面临严重环境问题的国家,但计划到2060年达到碳中和水平。我们的分析结果将是对中国烟草业对环境造成的危害(特别是二氧化碳排放)进行定量评估,并提出减少计算影响的建议。
