Beijingers Pay 1 Million Yuan in Smoking Fines
Fines resulting from the Beijing smoking ban introduced in June 2015, have totaled more than one million yuan ($150,000), Beijing Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning announced. A ban on smoking in all indoor public places, workplaces and public transport, the most strict in China, came into force on June 1, 2015.
Individual smokers can be fined up to 200 yuan ($30.52), while businesses can face fines of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,526) if they fail to discourage smoking on their premises. A total of 398 businesses and institutions were fined an average of 2,600 yuan ($3,968) each, along with 1,514 individuals, each fined an average of 53 yuan ($8), according to the commission.
Beijing’s tobacco sales fell 2.71 percent in 2015, said the commission’s Gao Xiaojun. People in Beijing are coming to accept that smoking is not allowed in public places, Gao said, but the migrant population in the capital has made implementation of the ban more difficult. Migrants know little about the ban and are more likely to find themselves in trouble. Enforcement of the ban in office buildings, restaurants and entertainment venues is also difficult, Gao added.

答案
Ineffective to Fine for Smoking Ban The Beijing smoking ban carried out recently is the toughest one in China with its fines amounting over one million RMB from both individual smokers and businesses. Under the ban, the tobacco sales in Beijing also fell. However, the enforcement of the ban also meets some difficulties when it comes to the migrants and some places such as restaurants and entertainment venues. Personally, I think imposing fines is not an effective way to ban smoking in public. First of all, fines mean no deterrent to chain smokers, especially the rich, who would rather pay the fine at the worst to have a smoke in public to mitigate the pain of nicotine addiction. Secondly, migrants in Beijing tend to break the regulation unintentionally due to their limited information about the local regulations, making the ban less effective. What’s more, the migrant workers account for a large proportion of the population in Beijing, which will worsen the situation. Last but not least, the implementation of the ban is hard in many places like small restaurants and entertainment venues. In most cases, the managers do not take the ban seriously as they don’t want their customers to be fined. Besides, places without monitored devices also make it hard to implement the ban. Thus the effect of the ban is unsatisfactory in most of these places. Therefore, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that imposing fines, in fact, is not an effective way to ban public smoking.
解析
本题的主旨是讨论罚款禁烟是否有效。首先应当概括材料中的内容,再给出自己的观点。文章可安排如下:
第一段:简要概括材料,提出自己的看法——罚款是无效的方法。
第二段:分三点论证自己的观点。第一,有些人愿意交罚款来满足其烟瘾;第二,外来务工人口容易违反禁烟规定,忽略禁烟令;第三,在一些诸如饭馆和娱乐场所这样的地方,难以监督禁烟是否有执行。
第三段:总结全文,重申观点一一罚款是无效的方法。
