Recently, there has been a new wave of games among primary school students — — Playing "cigarette cards", Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other places have issued bans on playing "cigarette cards" and mobilized parents to work together to stop it. What is a "cigarette card"? What harm does it have? Is there a group of primary school students playing "cigarette cards" in Suzhou? The reporter visited this.

The popular "cigarette card" game among primary school students in many places is actually made of waste cigarette cases.

It is understood that the so-called "cigarette card" is actually made by crushing a cigarette case into a card. The game of "cigarette card" is simple. Students get together and slap the ground with their palms. If the card is hit by the palm wind and turned over, it will win. Earlier, according to many media reports, many primary school teachers reported that students played "cigarette cards" on campus.

A primary school teacher in Guangdong found that some students are secretly folding "cigarette cards" in class, and some students are reminiscing about playing "cigarette cards" in class to try to figure out how to win more. There are also some children who play "cigarette cards" to the extent of "being possessed". Some students will secretly take cards in class to "practice techniques"; Or put the card in a pencil case and quietly "appreciate"; There are also quarrels and fights with classmates when exchanging "cigarette cards". What worries teachers even more is that the trend of "cigarette card" becoming younger will lead minors to contact tobacco products earlier.

Some parents of students said that their children knew more about cigarette brands than adults who smoked because they played "cigarette cards", and some students asked their parents to buy "cigarette cards" online. Moreover, among some students, taking "cigarette cards" has been divorced from the game level and is being upgraded to gambling. Let’s make a bet first. The losing student should give the corresponding number of "cigarette cards" to the winning party, or directly give cash or other items.

"Cigarette Card" sells well online, but it is not popular for Suzhou primary school students to play.

"Cigarette card" is popular in primary school campus, causing heated discussion on the Internet. On the online shopping platform, the reporter searched nearly 100 shops and used all kinds of cigarette logos as display pages. Many shops sold more than 10,000 copies a month. Depending on the quantity and popularity, the prices of "cigarette cards" series of commodities also range from 5 yuan to 400 yuan.

In the comment area of several online stores, the reporter found that most consumers who bought "cigarette cards" said that they were bought for children. Judging from the comments, most children are in primary school, and some are even in kindergarten. The reporter randomly contacted several online shop customers, and several customers all said that the goods were made of real cigarette cases, not printed matter. Where did they make such a large number of "cigarette cards" from? In the face of a reporter’s question, the customer service said that the goods were folded from the packaging box directly purchased from the cigarette factory, and the production process was disinfected to ensure that the cigarettes were not packaged.

So, is a similar "smoke card" game popular among the primary school students in Suzhou? Do the shops around the school sell "cigarette cards"? In the past few days, the reporter visited stationery stores around many primary schools in the city, and all the stores said that there were no "cigarette cards" for sale in the store. "There is a card. The cards that boys like to sell better are mainly Altman and the like, while girls like to collect princesses, ancient styles and so on. " A store owner said that the prices of these cards are generally around ten yuan. Some shopkeepers who sell tobacco also clearly told reporters that they would not sell cigarette products to primary school students. The reporter also interviewed several primary school teachers, who all said that they had not observed any students playing "cigarette cards" in the school for the time being.

The problem lies in smoke, so we should correctly guide and standardize it from the source.

In response to the popularity of "cigarette cards", education and tobacco regulatory authorities in many places have conducted special inspections on selling "cigarette cards" or "cigarette card" printed paper. Sanya Education Bureau issued "Important Tips to Prevent Students from Addicting to" cigarette cards "games", saying that the addiction to "cigarette cards" games has potential risks that affect students’ physical and mental health, distract their learning energy and lead to bad values. Parents are requested to cooperate with the school to prohibit "cigarette cards" from entering the campus. Many schools in Hunan have also issued "bans" and mobilized parents to work together to stop students from playing "cigarette cards" so that they can deeply understand the dangers.

However, many netizens think that the "cigarette card" is a "variant" game of shooting "foreign paintings" played in childhood after the 1970s and 1980s. Playing these games is better than playing in Internet cafes and mobile phones, and children will get tired of it after a while. Some parents also said that children have their own ways of communication, as long as they set good rules, such as not buying and selling "cigarette cards" and not smoking, they have no objection as parents.

In this regard, lawyer Jiang Yongwei, a partner of Jiangsu Xinsu Law Firm, believes that cigarette cards are obviously not tobacco products, but waste cartons after cigarettes are used. Their properties are similar to those of cards attached to some foods in the late 1990s, and they cannot be sold independently as commodities according to law. Pupils collect cigarette cards for games, similar to the common collection of Altman cards. Games have certain positive significance, such as promoting social interaction, hands-on ability, alleviating academic pressure, etc. Parents and schools should not ban them all, but can actively guide them. It is suggested that schools and parents should help their children develop good hobbies, arrange their study and life reasonably, and carry out more extracurricular activities that are beneficial to their physical and mental health.

"cigarette card" and "radish knife" … … The appearance of a series of new children’s toys has aroused public discussion. "Love to play is children’s nature. Children experience the joy of playing in the game, abide by the rules of the game, and at the same time face the win or lose calmly. As teachers and parents, they should understand and agree with children’s natural desire for the game." Luo Xi, a national third-level psychological counselor, believes that children have their own hobbies and ways of communication. As long as they relax properly after school without affecting their studies, they don’t have to be overly alarmed. However, they need to correctly guide their children and set good rules. They should not be addicted to games, and they should not buy or sell "cigarette cards" for gambling or smoking. "This requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society to strengthen the supervision of the market and ensure the safety and compliance of children’s game products."
