Banning Tobacco > General Surgery

On 22 February 2006, J-G Park and 157 dignitaries representing various sectors in Korean society filed a petition to legislate a law that would ban the manufacture, sales, exportation, and importation of tobacco, as well as the possession of cigarettes with intent to sell, within 10 years forward in Korea.

A survey conducted by a research company showed that 61% of men and 77.0% of women were in favor of the legislation, which means that 69% of the total population is in favor of banning tobacco manufacture and sales in Korea. The approval rates for the legislation were lower among the current smokers, both male and female, as anticipated, and also for men in their twenties and women with no exposure to anti-smoking campaign message. Even so, 51% of current smokers favored the legislation.

This book was written to clarify the reasons, the effects, the problems and the solutions for the total banning the manufacture and sale of tobacco products. The Korean edition was published in 2006 by 9 experts in each field. This year we summarized and translated the book into English to share our ideas and experiences with global leaders in tobacco control.(from Introduction)


2006년 2월 22일, 박재갑 교수를 비롯해 한국의 각계각층을 대표하는 157명이 담배의 생산, 판매, 수출과 수입을 금지하고 더 나아가 매매의 의도를 갖고 담배의 소유를 금하는 입법 청원서를 작성하였다.

한 리서치사의 조사에 의하면 61%의 남성과 77%의 여성이 입법에 찬성하였는데, 이는 전 국민의 69%가 한국에서 담배의 제조와 판매를 금하는 것을 찬성함을 의미한다. 흡연자들 사이에서는, 예상하듯이 입법에 대한 지지율이 남자와 여자 모두에게서 낮게 나타났으며, 금연 캠페인을 접해보지 못한 20대 남성과 여성에게서도 낮게 나타났다. 그럼에도 51%의 현재 흡연자들조차 이 입법안에 찬성하였다.

이 책은 담배 관련 제품의 제조와 판매를 총체적으로 금지하자는 주장의 이유, 그리고 금지했을 때의 효과와 장단점 등을 명확히 하기 위해 쓰였다. 한국어판은 9명의 전문가에 의해 2006년에 출판되었다. 이 책은 그 책을 영문으로 요약하고 번역한 것으로 담배를 반대하는 세계의 리더들과 우리의 생각과 경험을 공유하고자 함이다.('introduction'에서)
