自由黨支持政府禁售電子煙，因為多個研究顯示，電子煙產品較傳統香煙對身體帶來的禍害更嚴重，因部分電子煙容許使用者自行添加溶液和造成不同味道的添加劑，所含有影響健康的有毒或致癌物質有機會較傳統香煙為高；另外，由於不論電子煙或其添加劑均未必有任何規格及品質保證，其安全性確實令人存疑，為保障市民的健康，自由黨認為政府應禁電子煙。
Since some e - cigarettes allow users to add their own solutions or additives to create different flavours they may contain more toxic or carcinogenic substances which affect health when compared to conventional cigarettes . Furthermore since there may not be any specifications and quality assurance for e - cigarettes or their additives their safety is indeed questionable . To protect public health the Liberal Party considers that the Government should ban e - cigarettes
雖然大家都知道吸煙危害健康，但仍有不少市民甘願成為煙民一族，有些煙民吸煙多年，已成習慣，不論是因為何種原因吸煙，既然戒不掉，就只能兩害取其輕，選擇一個對身體帶來風險較少的吸煙產品。
Although we all know that smoking is hazardous to health many people still choose to become smokers . Some have been smoking for years and it has become their habit . Irrespective of the reason for smoking if one fails to quit one can only choose the lesser of the two evils and select a smoking product which poses less risk to health
根據美國食品及藥物管理局及英國衞生防護局的測試及評估，與傳統香煙的煙霧相比，加熱煙氣霧的有害及潛在有害物質含量較低；而從加熱煙氣霧中測出的尼古丁含量，是傳統香煙煙霧中尼古丁含量的70%至84%，可見加熱煙帶來的傷害相對較傳統香煙為低。
According to the tests and assessments conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration and Public Health England compared with conventional cigarettes the amount of harmful and potentially harmful substances in the aerosols of HTPs is lower whereas the nicotine level detected in the aerosols of HTPs is 70 % to 84 % of that in the aerosols of conventional cigarettes thus showing that HTPs are relatively less harmful than conventional cigarettes
政府今次提出的禁煙修訂，是鑒於近年吸食電子煙及加熱煙的青少年顯著增加，但亦有調查顯示，已吸食電子煙或加熱煙的市民，大部分不會因為政府的禁煙措施而戒煙，只是會轉為吸食傳統香煙，所 造成的危害會更為嚴重。
This time the Government has proposed legislative amendments on the smoking ban in view of the significant increase in the number of young people consuming e - cigarettes and HTPs in recent years . However according to a survey most users of e - cigarettes or HTPs will not quit smoking because of the Governments anti - smoking measures . They will only switch to smoking conventional cigarettes which will cause more serious harm
既然如此，政府為何不給市民一個可以選擇的機會，由禁止改為"規管"加熱煙？
Such being the case why does the Government not give the public a choice by regulating instead of banning HTPs?
若擔心青少年群組出現門戶效應，大可禁止售買加熱煙予18歲以下的青年，讓成年煙民有機會選擇對身體傷害較少的加熱煙。
If it is worried about the emergence of a gateway effect among youngsters it may as well ban the sale of HTPs to young people under the age of 18 allowing adult smokers to choose HTPs which are less harmful to health
政府禁加熱煙只是"斬腳趾避沙蟲"。
The Governments ban on HTPs is just trimming the toes to fit the shoes
市場上對加熱煙的研究較少，資料及數據並不多，政府只能籠統地把電子煙對身體造成危害的研究結果硬套入加熱煙。
With relatively few studies on HTPs in the market there is not much information and statistics . The Government can only rigidly apply the study findings on health hazards of e - cigarettes to HTPs in general
事實上，全球有200多個國家及地區，現時只有10個禁加熱煙。
As a matter of fact at present out of over 200 countries and regions in the world only 10 have banned HTPs
對於政府以加熱煙裝置能夠收集吸煙者的喜好資料，從而製造更多吸煙產品以誘使更多人吸食，以及容易令人上癮為由，而禁止加熱煙，我們認為過於牽強。
We find it too farfetched for the Government to ban HTPs on the grounds that HTP devices can collect information on the preferences of smokers thereby facilitating the production of more smoking products to induce more people to smoke and that they are highly addictive
現時建議的修訂，除禁止製造、售賣、分發、推廣另類加熱煙產品外，政府因擔心市民自行組裝電子煙及加熱煙，就連該等另類吸煙產品的配件及零件，亦包括在禁止範圍內，條例是過於嚴苛，並扼殺很多商業貿易發展的空間。
In the present proposed amendments apart from the prohibition of the manufacture sale distribution and promotion of alternative smoking products even the accessories and parts of such alternative smoking products are included in the ban because the Government is concerned that members of the public may assemble e - cigarettes and HTPs on their own . The legislation is too harsh and will stifle the room for development of many businesses and trades
主席，政府在《條例草案》中提出的豁免，只包括過境人士攜帶、航空轉運貨物及政府化驗師為執行職能所需，自由黨認為涵蓋範圍不足以滿足實際需要，特別是物流業及多式聯運的發展。
President the exemption proposed by the Government in the Bill only covers articles in transit air transhipment cargoes and products necessary for the performance of the Government Chemists functions . The Liberal Party considers that the coverage is insufficient to meet the actual needs especially for the development of the logistics industry and multi - modal transport . Hong Kong has a well - connected transport network
香港具有四通八達的交通網絡，每星期有接近300班班輪前往全球約470個目的地；每日有超過1,100班航班前往全球220個航點，當中40個是內地城市，在5個小時的飛行航程中，可到達亞洲大部分城市，覆蓋範圍佔全球人口一半；另外，在疫情前，每天亦有10多萬架次的跨境車輛來往內地與香港。
Every week there are nearly 300 liners travelling to some 470 destinations around the world . Every day there are more than 1 100 flights heading for 220 destinations around the world 40 of which are Mainland cities and a flight within five hours can reach most Asian cities covering half of the worlds population . In addition before the epidemic more than 100 000 cross - border vehicle trips were made daily between the Mainland and Hong Kong
由於香港擁有完善的運輸基礎設施，是區內的物流樞紐，亦是內地重要的中轉港口，因此，內地大部分吸煙產品都會經香港轉運到海外市場銷售。
With comprehensive transport infrastructure Hong Kong is a logistics hub in the region and an important transhipment port for the Mainland . Hence most of the Mainlands smoking products are transhipped to overseas markets for sale via Hong Kong
事實上，為提升物流競爭力，除提供基本的運輸及倉儲服務外，還會提供增值服務，從世界各地到港的貨物，有部分會先送往倉庫及物流中心，按客戶要求進行加工及包裝，然後再利用香港完善的交通網絡，把貨物配送到指定國家及市場。
In fact to enhance logistic competitiveness apart from the provision of basic transport and storage services value - added services are also provided . Some of the goods arriving at Hong Kong from places around the world will first be sent to warehouses and logistics centres for processing and packaging as per the customers requests . Then the goods will be delivered to specified countries and markets by making use of Hong Kongs comprehensive transport network
但是，《條例草案》只豁免允許另類吸煙產品經航空轉運，即由一架飛機原封不動直接轉到另一架飛機，該等產品不會進入香港境內，但大部分內地吸煙產品都是經陸路運送到香港，然後再經飛機或遠洋輪船運送到海外，當中有部分或須入倉加工，然後再轉運到海外市場，但《條例草案》落實後，市場 上經營另類吸煙產品的配件、加工及配送的企業，就會完全消失，《條例草案》無疑扼殺市場提供配送另類吸煙產品服務的業務。
But most Mainland smoking products are shipped to Hong Kong by land then by air or ocean liner to overseas places . Some of them may need to be sent to warehouses for processing before being transhipped to overseas markets . However after the implementation of the Bill enterprises doing business in the accessories processing and distribution of alternative smoking products in the market will disappear completely
行政長官在剛發布的施政報告中表示，要發展香港為國際商貿中心，但現時除飛機過飛機的另類吸煙產品獲得豁免外，將全面禁止所有涉及另類吸煙產品入境，斷送涉及吸煙產品的貿易，《條例草案》與行政長官的施政背道而馳。
The Bill will undoubtedly stifle the business of providing distribution services for alternative smoking products in the market . In her newly released Policy Address the Chief Executive stated the need to develop Hong Kong as an international trade centre but currently a total ban will be imposed to prohibit the entry of all alternative smoking products except for air transhipment cargoes which are granted exemption thus ruining the trade involving smoking products . The Bill runs counter to the Chief Executives administration
為配合物流業的實際業務，自由黨希望政府把豁免範圍由航空轉運擴大至包括陸空或陸海運輸，以配合多式聯運的需要；至於一些需要加工及重新包裝再出口的另類吸煙產品，由於牽涉範圍較為複雜，因此，自由黨只會就擴大豁免運輸工具提出修正案，稍後我會在全體委員會審議階段再就我的修正案詳述。
To cater for the actual business of the logistics industry the Liberal Party hopes that the Government will extend the scope of exemption from air transhipment to combined transport by land and air or by land and sea so as to meet the needs of multi - modal transport . As for alternative smoking products which need processing and repackaging for re - export owing to the complexity of the subject matter involved the Liberal Party will only propose an amendment to extend the exemption to other means of transport . I will elaborate on my amendment later at the Committee stage
代理主席，政府今天提出的《2019年吸煙條例草案》，除了禁止另類吸煙產品的製造、銷售及推廣外，還禁止進口，不過航空轉運和直接過境的另類吸煙產品則可獲豁免，但有關豁免不足以滿足現時實際運送情況。
Deputy Chairman the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 put forward by the Government today seeks to prohibit the manufacture sale and promotion as well as the import of alternative smoking products ASPs with the exemption of ASPs in transit or air transhipment cargos . However the exemption is not sufficient to satisfy the actual transport situation
香港的優越地理位置及具備完善的運輸網絡，是內地貨物一個重要的轉口港，去年，經香港轉口的內地貨物總值就佔本港轉口總值接近九成，而轉口貨物中就包括吸煙產品。
Given its advantageous geographical location and well - developed transport network Hong Kong is an important entrepot for goods from the Mainland . Last year the value of Mainland goods re - exported through Hong Kong accounted for nearly 90 % of Hong Kongs total re - export trade value
內地是其中一個重要的吸煙產品生產地，而大部分內地生產的吸煙產品都是經香港轉運到海外市場銷售，這些海外市場均視該等吸煙產品為合法產品。
Smoking products were among the re - exported goods . The Mainland is a one of the key places for the manufacturing of smoking products . Most of these smoking products are exported to overseas markets where they are considered legal for sale through Hong Kong
而內地的貨物一般會以陸路跨境車輛運送到香港，然後經遠洋貨船或飛機送往海外市場，這種陸轉海或陸轉空的多式聯運，多年來一直行之有效，因此，我提出的修正案就是希望將豁免範圍由單單航空轉運擴大至車輛運載的進口另類吸煙產品，以配合多式聯運的運作。
In general goods from the Mainland are first sent to Hong Kong by cross - boundary vehicles before being shipped to overseas markets by ocean - going vessels or planes . This land - sea or land - air multimodal transport has been functioning effectively throughout the years . Hence my amendment seeks to expand the scope of exemption from air transhipment cargos only to importation of ASPs by vehicles so as to tie in with the operation of multimodal transport
政府認為我提出的修正案需要政府成立新的專責小組，因而大幅增加政府的財政負擔，自由黨認為政府是有誤導之嫌。
The Administration suggested that a new taskforce would be necessitated by my amendment thus significantly increasing its financial burden . The Liberal Party considers the Administration misleading
隨着科技的發展，自從"道路貨物資料系統"推行後，香港海關亦於10年前推出多模式聯運轉運貨物便利計劃，計劃除了利用電子預報貨物資料，以加快清關程序外，亦會透過應用電子鎖及全球定位系統技術，對從內地載貨入境的跨境車輛，由陸路口岸直接到碼頭或機場的指定清關點，貨物期間不會卸下倉儲，而全程會透過實時監察系統監察電子鎖的狀態及貨車行走路線，以確保貨物不會受干擾。
With the development of technology since the implementation of the Road Cargo System the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department launched the Intermodal Transshipment Facilitation Scheme with electronic advance cargo information to speed up the clearance process . Electronic lock and global positioning system technology are used to track cross - boundary cargo vehicles entering Hong Kong from the Mainland which will go directly from the land crossing to designated clearance points at the terminal or the airport without unloading the cargo for storage . The status of the electronic lock and the movement of the vehicle throughout the journey is tracked by the real - time monitoring system to ensure that the goods are not tampered with
既然 政府已有一套配合陸轉海或陸轉空多式聯運的監控，即使把豁免範圍擴大至車輛運載的進口另類吸煙產品，亦不會對現行機制造成任何影響。
Since a monitoring system that tie in with the land - sea or land - air multimodal transport is already in place expanding the scope of exemption to include ASPs imported by vehicles will not cause any impact on the current mechanism . As pointed out in the Presidents ruling on my amendment enforcement actions by law enforcement agencies in relation to the import of ASPs are already envisaged at the proposal of ASPs prohibition
主席就我的修正案作出裁決時亦指出，政府提出禁止另類吸煙產品時，應該已預期執法部門需要就禁止進口的另類吸煙產品採取執法行動，不論今天我提出的修正案是否通過，執法行動依然需要不時展開，因此，主席才批准我提出修正案，而自由黨認為擴大豁免範圍並不存在新增職能及大幅增加開支的説法。
Enforcements actions will be taken from time to time regardless of whether my amendment is passed or not today . Therefore the President ruled that my amendment is admissible . The Liberal Party opined that expanding the scope of exemption does not involve any additional functions and significant increase of expenditure
貿易及物流業是本港四大經濟支柱之一，佔本地生產總值及就業人數分別為大約20%及17.5%，為確保香港的物流樞紐地位及中轉角色不變，我懇請各位議員能夠支持我的修正案。
The trading and logistics industry is one of the four main economic pillars in Hong Kong accounting for approximately 20 % and 17.5 % of our Gross Domestic Product respectively . To ensure that Hong Kongs status as a logistics hub and role as a transhipment point remain unchanged I urge Members to support my amendment
主席，吸煙危害健康，這是社會的共識，但若把危害健康作為在社會禁絕的準則是危險的，並會做成種種的政策矛盾。
President it is a consensus in society that smoking is hazardous to health . However it is dangerous to make hazardous to health a criterion for imposing a ban in society and this will lead to various policy conflicts
最顯而易見的例子便是糖，有醫療專家指出，糖比煙草對身體的傷害更為嚴重，但我們很難想象，政府會推出禁售糖的政策。
The most obvious example is sugar . Some medical experts have pointed out that sugar is more harmful to our body than tobacco . Yet we can hardly imagine that the Government will implement any policy to ban sugar
主席，我不是煙民，亦不贊成市民吸煙，但要在社會推行反吸煙政策並不是"一刀切"的禁止出售香煙，而是寓禁於徵。
President I am not a smoker and I do not approve of smoking . Nevertheless the introduction of an anti - smoking policy in society should not be an across - the - board ban on the sale of cigarettes but rather the imposition of heavy taxes to deter smoking
今天不能支持政府的《2019年吸煙條例草案》，亦是同樣的道理。
Today for the same reason I cannot support the Governments Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
我不支持《條例草案》的一個原因，是《條例草案》沒有把加熱煙與電子煙分開，而是以同一尺度處理。
The reason why I do not support the Bill is that instead of dealing with heated tobacco products HTPs and e - cigarettes in different ways it treats them equally
電子煙是一些化學劑，吸食時並不涉及燃燒煙草，而加熱煙與傳統香煙是同類產品，理論上不應區分處理，因此，我們亦沒有加熱煙較傳統香煙更危害健康的明確證據。
E - cigarettes are some chemical substances which do not involve the burning of tobacco in the consumption process . On the other hand HTPs and conventional cigarettes are similar products which should not be subject to differentiated treatment theoretically . Therefore we do not have concrete evidence that HTPs are more hazardous to health than conventional cigarettes
主席，本會在審議《條例草案》期間，有製煙業的僱員向我表達意見，指香港的煙草業已是夕陽行業，而生產加熱煙能幫助行業的生存，但現時《條例草案》不但禁止加熱煙在本港售賣，製造亦同遭禁止，令煙草製造業更難生存，間接亦影響僱員的生計。
President during the scrutiny of the Bill some employees of the tobacco industry expressed their views to me . They pointed out that the tobacco industry in Hong Kong was already a sunset industry and that the production of HTPs could help the industry to survive . However the present Bill does not only ban the sale of HTPs but also their manufacture making it more difficult for the tobacco industry to survive and indirectly affecting the livelihood of the employees
主席，我發言支持《2021年電訊條例草案》的二讀。
President I speak in support of the Second Reading of the Telecommunications Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
正正由於5G技術在應用方面越來越廣泛，對市民生活越來越重要，對相關傳送設施的維護亦需要加強，以確保5G服務的可靠性和穩定性。
Businesses can also save manpower and costs while improving productivity and service quality . As 5G technology is getting more widely used and more important to peoples lives the maintenance of related transmission facilities needs to be enhanced to ensure the reliability and stability of 5G services
《條例草案》其中一項主要建議，便是加強保護地底下的電訊基建設施，包括將在沒有採取合理措施下施工而導致地下電訊設施受損定為刑事罪行，違者最高可判監6至12個月，以及罰款25,000元至最高的200,000元。
One of the major proposals in the Bill is to strengthen the protection of underground telecommunications infrastructure facilities including creating a criminal offence against any person who fails to take reasonable steps to prevent damage to underground telecommunications facilities when carrying out any work and the offender may be liable to imprisonment for up to six to 12 months and a fine of 25,000 to a maximum of 200,000
政府強調有關罪行和罰則，與現時維護地下的供水、供電和燃氣設施的法例相若，不會對建造業界和各類掘路工程造成很大影響。
The Government stresses that the offences and penalties which are similar to those provided for under the existing legislation for the maintenance of underground water electricity and gas facilities will not have a significant impact on the construction sector and all types of road excavation works
但是，其實現行相關掘路限制、業界施工前要申請的種種牌照、批准和程序已經不少，令有關工程的準備及施工時間越拖越長，加重對市民的滋擾，也對交通造成影響，工程成本亦因而增加。
However due to the many existing restrictions on road excavation and various licences and approvals the sector has to apply for or procedures it has to undergo prior to construction the preparation and construction time of the project has become increasingly longer causing more nuisance to the public as well as traffic implications which will in turn lead to higher project costs
另一個問題是，承建商和工人在施工時，往往掘開路面才發現地底原來藏有各類新增或舊有管道和線路。
Another problem is that contractors and workers often discover that there are additional or old pipes and lines underneath the ground only after digging up the road surface during construction
尤其是在舊區，相關地下設施的圖則紀錄資料，不少都未必準確和全面反映實質情況，令業界擔心會否在不知情之下，破壞某些電訊設施，並因而誤墮法網。
Especially in old districts many record plans of the relevant underground facilities may not accurately and fully reflect the actual situation . As such the sector is concerned about the possibility of unknowingly damaging certain telecommunications facilities and thus inadvertently breaking the law
通訊事務管理局承諾在制訂有關指引時會諮詢相關業界，我希望有關工作要做好一些，做到當局所說，要顧及建造業界在遵從相關規定時的實際情況。
The Communications Authority has undertaken to consult the sector when formulating the guidelines . I hope that the relevant work will be done more properly so as to keep the word of the authorities by taking into account the actual situation of the construction sector in complying with the requirements
相關申請審批亦必須簡易快捷，最好是提供一站式服務，業界尋找單一部門，便可申請掘路所需的所有牌照和批准，收費亦要合理。
The applications must also be approved in a simple and expeditious manner . It is best to provide one - stop services so that the sector can find a single department to process their applications for all the necessary licences and approvals for road excavation at reasonable fees
政府亦要同時要求電訊商及相關部門，妥善記錄其地下設施的資料，供申請進行掘路工程的公司查閱，最好是存放在現時構建中的空間數據共享平台，讓業界可以上網便找到有關資料，減少錯誤的開挖。
The Government should also require telecommunications operators and related departments to properly record information on their underground facilities for inspection of companies applying for road excavation projects . The records are preferably kept on the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure currently under development so that the sector can find the information online to minimize erroneous excavations
除了掘路工程，今次《條例草案》另一個層面，亦跟我們業界息息相關，便是5G物聯網在住宅大廈、商場和停車場管理等方面的應用。
In addition to road excavation the application of 5G IoT in residential buildings shopping malls and car park management is another aspect of the Bill that is closely related to our sector
有關應用涉及傳送範圍和顧客人數等，與用於手機通訊及其他全港性、區域性的廣播傳送十分不同，因此現行法例已存在兩套不同的發牌制度和規管架構。
The application involves the scope of transmission and the number of customers and is very different from what is used in mobile phone communication and other territory - wide or regional broadcast transmissions . As such there are already two different licensing regimes and regulatory frameworks under the existing legislation
為了促進相關科技和應用發展，《條例草案》建議簡化適用於物聯網服務的"非傳送者牌照"的申請、審批及上訴程序，這個大原則我是非常支持的，尤其是現正使用有關物聯網技術的公司，有些可能不知道這等同電訊服務而需要領牌。
In order to facilitate the development of related technologies and applications the Bill proposes to simplify the application approval and appeal procedures for non - carrier licences applicable to IoT services . I very much support this general principle not least because some companies that are using the IoT technology may not know that this is equivalent to telecommunications services and a licence is required
在這方面，政府同樣要做好宣傳和諮詢，盡量精簡審批，不要窒礙創新科技的發展，以及業界的正當營運，務求令更多市民和企業，可以更簡便和兼宜地享用相關新科技帶來的好處。
In this regard the Government should also do a good job in publicity and consultation and streamline the approval process as far as possible so as not to hinder the development of innovative technologies and the proper operation of the sector and enable more people and enterprises to enjoy the benefits of the new technologies in a more convenient and compatible manner
主席，我發言支持《2019年吸煙條例草案》的二讀。
President I rise to speak in support of the Second Reading of the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
吸煙危害健康，這一點人人都知，但可惜仍然有人選擇吸煙。
Everyone knows that smoking is hazardous to health but regrettably there are still people who choose to smoke
香港與絕大部分地區一樣，容許市民吸煙，但對煙草產品的款式、成分、生產、銷售、宣傳及吸食地點等，施加不同程度的限制，並徵收相當高的稅款，藉此提高煙價，減少煙民數目，促使他們戒煙，減輕吸煙對公眾健康的影響及醫療系統的壓力。
Hong Kong just like the vast majority of places allows members of the public to smoke but imposes different levels of restrictions on the types ingredients manufacture sale promotion and smoking locations etc . of tobacco products . It also levies rather heavy taxes to raise cigarette prices with a view to reducing the number of smokers so as to make them quit smoking and to reduce the impact of smoking on public health and the pressure on the healthcare system
政府這次修例，是針對近年在世界各地興起，而且特別受青少年和女士歡迎的電子煙及加熱煙，禁止這些另類吸煙產品在香港生產、入口和銷售，希望避免有更多人被這些新產品的時尚外型，以及五花八門的香味吸引，導致染上煙癮，成為煙民，令他們的健康終身受損。
The Government introduces the legislative amendments this time around targeting at electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products HTPs which have emerged around the world in recent years and are particularly popular among young people and women . The aim is to prohibit the manufacture import and sale of such alternative smoking products in Hong Kong . It is hoped that the ban can prevent more people from being attracted by the trendy appearance and various flavours of these new products to become addicted to smoking and then become smokers which will inflict lifelong damage on their health
對於禁售電子煙，各界基本上都是支持的，因為很難清楚了解它們的成分及對健康的禍害程度。
The ban on the sale of e - cigarettes is basically supported by all sectors since it is difficult to figure out clearly their ingredients and how harmful they are to health
但對於禁售加熱煙，社會上有不同意見。
Notwithstanding this there are different views in society insofar as the ban on the sale of HTPs is concerned
反對全面禁止的人認為，加熱煙的成分與傳統煙草產品並無分別，但吸食時產生的二手煙和煙草味較少。
Those who oppose a full ban argue that although the ingredients of HTPs are no different from conventional tobacco products less second - hand smoke and tobacco smell is produced when HTPs are consumed
有些研究更聲稱，加熱煙對吸食者的健康影響較傳統香煙低，因此建議與傳統香煙一樣，將其納入規管，即是將加熱煙合法化。
Some studies even claim that HTPs have relatively less impact on the health of smokers than conventional cigarettes and therefore suggest that HTPs should be regulated in the same way as conventional cigarettes meaning legalizing HTPs
支持全面禁止的人則認為，正正因為加熱煙有這些所謂的"優點"，更容易吸引原本未必會吸食傳統香煙的人試食，因此更加需要禁制。
On the other hand proponents of a full ban argue that precisely because of these so - called advantages of HTPs they are more likely to attract people who might not otherwise consume conventional cigarettes to try them thus rendering a ban all the more necessary
更何況，無論如何吸食包括加熱煙和傳統香煙均會危害健康，而我們的最終目標亦是希望全民戒煙。
Furthermore smoking―including consuming HTPs and conventional cigarettes―is hazardous to health in any case and our ultimate goal is for everyone to quit smoking
我向來十分尊重市民的個人自由和選擇權利，但前提是不可以影響到其他人和整體社會的利益。
I have always had a deep respect for peoples personal freedom and the right to choose but it is based on the premise that they must not affect the interests of other people and society as a whole
不論加熱煙的禍害是多一點抑或少一點，總之都是對吸食者、市民、社會有害。
Regardless of whether or not HTPs are more harmful they still cause harm to the users members of the public and society
對人有害的東西，即使因種種理由無法即時將它禁絕，亦不應讓它有機會擴大禍害。
When it comes to something which is harmful to people even if we cannot put it under a total ban immediately due to various reasons we should not leave an opportunity for it to do more harm
這就是我支持禁售加熱煙、支持《條例草案》的主因。
This is the major reason for me to support a ban on the sale of HTPs and support the Bill
除了有關加熱煙的爭議，不少人亦質疑《條例草案》"禁賣不禁食"的原則，擔心會助長走私和販賣私煙活動。
Apart from the controversy over HTPs quite a number of people have also queried about the principle of the Bill in that it imposes a ban on the sale but not consumption . They worry that this would encourage smuggling and the sale of illicit cigarettes
當然，亦有人會說，如果全面禁止電子煙和加熱煙，便不如一併禁止吸食傳統香煙。
Of course some people may also argue that if a total ban is to be imposed on e - cigarettes and HTPs the consumption of conventional cigarettes should be banned altogether
事實上，有個別海外國家已就全面禁售及禁食煙草制訂路線圖和時間表。
As a matter of fact individual overseas countries have already drawn up their roadmaps and timetables in respect of a total ban on the sale and consumption of tobacco
特區政府既然注重市民健康，是否也應該同時認真考慮一下呢？
Since the SAR Government cares about the health of the people should it not give serious consideration to this at the same time?
