Cigarette card games are popular among primary school lawyers: manufacturing and selling are illegal, and platform sales attract attention.
Eight-year-old Liang Liang got a new cigarette card, and he sniffed the residual smell of tobacco excitedly. This card became a new "general" in his cigarette card collection. Recently, a game called "Cigarette Card Shooting" has quietly sprung up in primary schools all over the country. Children use cards folded from discarded cigarette cases to play against each other, and the winners can get each other’s cards. Among them, cigarette cards of high-end cigarette brands are more popular, which has spawned a "trading market" among children.
Parents found that children’s obsession with cigarette collecting cards was beyond imagination. Some children even look for discarded cigarette cases from parents who smoke or in trash cans to increase their "collection". At the same time, a large number of information about selling cigarette cards appeared on the e-commerce platform, with different prices ranging from a few yuan to a few cents. Some merchants claimed that the cigarette cards they sold were genuine, although the source was unknown, but they emphasized that they had been disinfected and met the safety standards required by parents.
However, this cigarette card craze has aroused social concern and concern. Many market supervision departments and educational institutions have initiated initiatives to prohibit students from participating in the "cigarette card" game, pointing out its potential harm to the physical and mental health of minors. Legal experts pointed out that selling tobacco cards to minors violates the Law on the Protection of Minors and the Advertising Law, which may not only induce minors to contact tobacco advertisements, but also infringe on the exclusive right to use registered trademarks. All walks of life are called upon to work together to create a smoke-free environment and protect young people from the temptation of tobacco.
In view of this phenomenon, some experts suggest developing healthy card games suitable for teenagers to guide children’s interest in a positive way, instead of cigarette card games that may have adverse effects.
