Recently, Tongjiang County and Nanjiang County in Bazhong City, Sichuan Province have successively issued the "Ban on Fumigation", which has attracted widespread attention and discussion. According to the notice, the two counties will prohibit the private smoking of bacon products, and require residents to send bacon and sausages that need to be smoked to designated centralized smoking points. Among them, Tongjiang County has made it clear that only the meat products of designated companies can be smoked, which has attracted controversy over whether to advertise and sell meat.
As a special meat in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan and other places, bacon is loved by the masses of people for its delicious taste and shelf-stable characteristics. However, in order to protect the urban environment and the safety of citizens' production and life, these two counties have restricted residents from smoking bacon privately in urban areas. Tongjiang County has set up two centralized smoking points to centralize the production of bacon, while Nanjiang County has also stipulated specific penalties and fines will be imposed for violations.
So why do these two counties prohibit residents from smoking bacon without permission?According to the statement in the notice, the smoke and dust produced by smoking will pollute the air, which will not only affect the production and life of citizens, but also pose a fire hazard. Therefore, this initiative is to protect the environment and the safety of citizens, but also to respect traditions and facilitate citizens. By setting up centralized smoking points, centralized management and disposal of smoke and dust and potential safety hazards generated in the smoking process to achieve the purpose of environmental protection.
However, this ban has sparked questions and discussions among many netizens. Some people think that if residents are forbidden to smoke bacon privately in the city to protect the environment, then won't the air be polluted in rural areas?There are also people who question the safety of centralized smoking points, and worry that the quality of centralized smoked bacon cannot be guaranteed. In addition, many people believe that there is no safety problem for residents to smoke bacon by themselves when conditions permit, compared to centralized smoking may bring more risks.
Netizens have different opinions on whether the centralized smoking point can achieve the goal of environmental protection. Some people believe that centralized smoking points can limit smoke and dust emissions, achieve the effect of reducing pollution, and thus achieve the goal of environmental protection. However, more netizens questioned that the centralized smoking point only focused on the production process of bacon, but did not solve the problem of smoke and dust and safety hazards generated during the smoking process. In addition, they expressed concerns about the pork** used in the centralized smoking sites and the processing methods, and were concerned that there might be food safety issues.
In response to the doubts and concerns of netizens, some voices in support of the smoking ban said that the centralized smoking points are to facilitate management and supervision to ensure the hygiene and safety of the bacon production process, so as to protect the health of residents. At the same time, some people also believe that centralized smoking points are not the only option, for residents with conditions, it is not an undesirable way to smoke bacon at home, as long as the awareness of safety and hygiene is strengthened, and certain protective measures can be taken.
A central issue in the controversy surrounding the ban is how to balance respect for tradition with the protection of the environment. On the one hand, bacon, as a peasant tradition, is one of the cuisines of the Chinese people and has special cultural significance. Residents smoke their own bacon to experience traditional village life and is a way to keep family traditions alive.
On the other hand, the protection of the urban environment and the safety of citizens cannot be ignored. Smoking bacon without permission may cause smoke and safety hazards, posing a potential threat to the environment and the health of residents. Therefore, the restriction of residents from smoking bacon in urban areas is to safeguard the urban environment and the interests of citizens.
However, when enforcing the ban, the needs and rights of residents need to be fully taken into account. A one-size-fits-all approach is likely to spark more contradictions and grievances. Therefore, in the process of formulating and implementing the smoking ban, it is necessary to respect the residents' right to choose on the basis of taking into account environmental protection and traditional culture, and seek a balance that can not only protect the environment but also reflect traditional culture.
In short, the ban on smoking bacon in urban areas has aroused widespread concern and discussion in the society. While there was support for the move, arguing that it would help protect the environment and the safety of residents, others raised questions and concerns about the ban. In the process of implementing the smoking ban, it is necessary to balance the relationship between respecting tradition and protecting the environment, and pay attention to the choice of residents and food safety issues, so as to achieve the goal of social stability and people's well-being.
