Large-scale clinical research is needed to reduce harm of cigarettes and Chinese herbal medicines

In February of this year, Xu Jian, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview that the survey results for Xie Jianping show that its main work and achievements are basic research, and materials and awards are not fraudulent. Qin Boyi, an academician of the Academy of Engineering, pointed out that the member of the investigation team, Zhang Boli, is the chairman of the appraisal committee of Xie Jianping’s main research achievements and should be avoided.Disposable Vape, Electronic Cigarettes, vape

The reporter interviewed the deputy to the National People's Congress, the president of the Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the president of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences Zhang Boli yesterday. “I don’t answer your question. This question is too sensitive. Such questions will not be answered.” Questions related to “academician of tobacco” Zhang Bolui did not want to answer.

The “Cigar Hazard Assessment and Control System Establishment and Application” project, which won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2010, is one of the major achievements of Xie Jianping’s academician. Its predecessor, "Cigar Hazard Indicator System Research" project, was used as a leading topic in the harm reduction and coke reduction project of the Chinese tobacco industry. The State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau organized the project appraisal in 2007. Zhang Boli served as the chairman and announced the appraisal opinion.

As early as 2005, Zhang Burley visited the Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute and conducted academic exchanges. He also said on several occasions that combining Chinese cigarettes with Chinese herbal medicines is a new idea for reducing the harm of cigarettes. He can develop low-risk cigarettes with Chinese characteristics and increase the market competitiveness of Chinese cigarette products.

Xie Jianping has been applied to cigarettes such as "Five-leaf God" through the introduction of "Shen Nong extract" developed from Chinese herbs in cigarettes. "Is there any research to prove that adding Chinese herbal medicine to cigarettes or other measures can reduce harm?" the reporter asked again. Zhang Burley said that coke reduction can not reduce harm, but also need to do large-scale clinical research, there is no large-scale evaluation of cigarette harm reduction at home and abroad.

"Smoking is harmful to health, and no matter how much money is earned by the tobacco industry, China is now smoking so many people, not a good phenomenon." Zhang Burley said that cigarette harm reduction should be "smoking, restricting the development of the entire tobacco industry, let more People do not smoke." But he mentioned, "There are 350 million smokers. After all, smoking is not a crime. You can't shut this 350 million people apart. It can only be education." Zhang Boli finally said, "I don't smoke myself. I'm against smoking. I'll say this."
