About my data collection

First, I will go to design a questionnaire about tobacco tax and the secondhand smoke. This questionnaire may includes a part of open questions so as to obtain the ideas about how do common people think about the tobacco issue. And of course , the interviewees include smoker and non-smokers, men and women, youth and adults so that I can obtain a subjective views form the public. Also, I will go to look for the information about tobacco taxes of a few countries or areas and their actions on anti-tobacco and anti-secondhand smoke, and comparing them with Taiwan's. The information I choose may come from the online sources and library sources. Besides, I will try to compare other countries or areas laws and rules on tobacco control with Taiwan's in order to reflect the irrational situation of tobacco control of Taiwan. For one thing, to protect the public health. For another, to arouse people's idea on anti- tobacco. And teaching them the idea that the harm of tobacco production is more dangerous than you can imagine.
