BEIJING, Beijing, November 8 (Qiu Yu) Attentive netizens may have noticed that the "smoking expression" in Tencent QQ on the mobile phone has changed recently.
What used to be a little man in a hat with a cigarette butt in his mouth, representing the expression of "leisure", has now become a green leaf in his mouth.
Social platforms have removed "smoking expressions"
Zhongxin. com learned from Beijing Tobacco Control Association that many tobacco control organizations such as Beijing Tobacco Control Association had previously sent a letter to Tencent, hoping to remove the "smoking expression".
At present, Tencent QQ on the mobile phone has changed, and WeChat and Tencent QQ on the computer still retain their original expressions. In this regard, Zhongxin.com asked Tencent, and the other party has not responded yet.
"We asked Tencent that they need to be coordinated by the technical department to change the emoji, and there is a certain process and it is very strict." Zhang Jianshu, president of Beijing Tobacco Control Association, said.
In fact, another social platform — — Sina Weibo took relevant actions several months ago.
In September this year, after receiving a letter from Beijing Tobacco Control Association, Sina Weibo gradually took off the smoking expression code-named "Cool" in its own expression pack, and since then, "smoking expression" has become history on PC and mobile phone clients in Weibo.
"The use of smoking expressions is large, which is very popular among netizens, especially young netizens." Zhang Jianshu said that in the cyberspace where teenagers are very active, using words such as "cool, carefree" to describe smoking expressions has a certain degree of inducement to them.
Zhang Jianshu said that it is definitely not enough to only remove the "smoking expression" in Tencent QQ on the mobile phone, because the number of users of WeChat is also very large. I hope that WeChat and Tencent QQ on the computer can also be removed as soon as possible.
Wechat can report illegal smoking behavior
Up to now, many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hangzhou have formulated local tobacco control laws, and Beijing and Shanghai have clearly stipulated that smoking is prohibited in indoor public places, indoor workplaces and public transport.
Using the mobile Internet, it is easier to supervise illegal smoking.
The reporter noticed that the "tobacco control complaint" in WeChat "City Service" can report illegal smoking behavior, and the complainant needs to fill in the contents of the complained unit, place and illegal behavior in detail.
Zhang Jianshu said that taking Beijing as an example, through the above channels, there are nearly 1,000 complaints every month. After receiving complaints, tobacco control volunteers will go to dissuade or help with rectification. (End)
