No Smoking In Clothing Trading Places, Dynamic And Genuine, 7 People Being Arrested For Smoking In Shanghai Shopping Mall

Being detained for smoking? This is something new in Shanghai Qipu Road Market. From January to July this year, a total of seven people in this market were detained administratively for smoking, about once a month.

According to reports, the detainees are mainly market practitioners who smoke in shops. After the plainclothes police found out in the market patrol, they took photos, recorded and obtained evidence, and then found the party to confirm, and then imposed administrative detention of 3-5 days on those who refused to mend their ways after repeated admonitions. This practice is mainly based on the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 21 of the Fire Prevention Law and the provisions of Article 63: those who use open fire in violation of regulations or smoke or use open fire in places with fire and explosion risks shall be given a warning or fined more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not more than five days.

Qipu Road Clothing Business District is famous in East China Clothing wholesale /As one of the distribution centers, there are 10 large-scale clothing wholesale markets and more than 6000 stores in the block, with an average daily purchase of more than 300 tons and a flow of people of more than 150000 people. Some stores "replace warehouses with stores", stack sundries in violation of regulations, and owners smoke in violation of regulations.

In order to eliminate the potential fire hazards to the greatest extent, Shanghai Zhabei Fire Brigade launched the "Five Major" fire prevention activities in the market, among which the prohibition of smoking in the trading place and the administrative detention of offenders are one of the most distinctive measures. In order to ensure the rights of smokers, each market has set up special smoking places, but smoking is strictly prohibited in each trading store in the market. Owners must also sign a letter of commitment with smoking ban provisions when entering the market.

Ding Zhengxiang, the executive deputy director of the management office of Qipu Road Clothing Business District, said that after the administrative detention of smoking, it had played an obvious deterrent role. Owners not only smoked less in the trading place, but also actively stopped smoking. However, the phenomenon of customers smoking in stores still exists, and at present, it is only education oriented.

It's better to be careful in advance than to regret after a disaster

As long as safety is ensured and no smoking is allowed in the trading place, it can be tolerated. If the shop is destroyed by smoking and fire, the consequences will be unbearable to us. It is better to take strict precautions now than to regret after a disaster.

No smoking is the best protection for owners

For owners, a small shop is all their livelihood and possessions. A fire may destroy a shop or even the whole market. Therefore, it is the best protection for market owners to strictly control smoking and try their best to prevent fire.

Smoking in shopping malls is likely to cause mass deaths and injuries

Many people believe that smoking in shopping malls is not so dangerous. In fact, it is as terrible as smoking in gas stations. Smoking in shopping malls is equivalent to using open fire in violation of regulations or in places with fire and explosion risks. Once a fire occurs, it is very easy to cause mass casualties.

Smokers should not be detained on the basis of speculation

Shanghai has formulated smoking control regulations. It is illegal to smoke in the market. However, there is still a lack of clear legal basis for whether to use administrative detention. There is no explicit setting of smoking punishment in the public security management regulations. In addition, smoking may cause harm, or even harm public safety, which is only a speculation, and administrative detention cannot be carried out accordingly.

14 people were detained for smoking in the mall

"I will be detained for one day after smoking a cigarette, and I will never smoke in public again." On July 20, three people, including Jiang, who were detained by the public security for smoking in Xinya New Mall, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, just came out of the detention center, so they told their friends.

On the same day, the Yushui Fire Brigade of Xinyu City, together with the Baoshi Road Police Station, carried out a screening of illegal smoking in Xinya New Mall.

It is understood that since the centralized renovation activity of New Asia New Mall was carried out in Yushui District last June, the Yushui Fire Brigade has detained 14 smokers in New Asia New Mall. At present, it has become a consensus that the whole district will not smoke in shopping malls, supermarkets and other areas. "Since the increase of punishment, the number of 'smoking guns' around has indeed decreased. I am a senior smoker, but now every place I go will first look for the' no smoking 'sign. Once I see it, I will not smoke again." Mr. Zhang, who has been smoking for more than 20 years, said.

"I think the best way to ban smoking is to increase punishment and publicity, so that citizens can understand the dangers of smoking while being afraid," said Ms. Wang, a citizen.
