"It’s so fun!" Recently, in the lobby on the first floor of a primary school in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, more than ten fourth-grade students were in a circle, playing a game of slapping "cigarette cards". When three "cigarette cards" were knocked over at one time, the students at the scene gave a scream.

The reporter learned that this game called "cigarette card", with cigarette boxes folded into cards as props, is becoming the new favorite of primary school students. In the past few days, Jimu journalists have learned from their investigations that although playing "cigarette cards" can’t be equated with smoking, schools, parents, society and other parties have called for strengthening guidance and supervision of the game to keep children away from "cigarette cards".

There are many ways to play, and the "cigarette card" game has become a new favorite of students.

After in-depth investigation in many primary schools in Wuhan, the reporter found that the game of "smoke card" has various ways of playing, and children usually decide the outcome by tapping and flipping cards. This kind of game is easy to learn and competitive, so it spread quickly among primary school students.

In Yujiatou Primary School in Wuchang District, many sixth-grade students said that they had played "cigarette cards". "The’ Smoke Card’ is convenient and fast to play, and it can also arouse the enthusiasm of the students. The result is unknown before shooting the’ Smoke Card’, and the atmosphere is good when playing. If you shoot well, you can get the recognition of the surrounding students." One student said that this made them interested in the "cigarette card". If someone was playing around, he would watch and sometimes join the game.

In a primary school in Jianghan District, Wuhan, the reporter saw that the play of "cigarette card" is very simple. Students put the "cigarette card" on the horizontal table, and then beat the horizontal table with their hands in turn to make the "cigarette card" turn over. The number of "cigarette cards" in the game is the same as the number of students participating in the game. One card is calculated as 1 point, and the score reaches 10 points first for victory.

"We usually hit with our hands and use the wind fanned by our hands to flip the card." A student told reporters that playing "cigarette cards" also has skills, sometimes it takes a lot of effort to flip it, and sometimes it can be flipped with skill just by taking advantage of the wind.

Students tried their best to save cards, and some people rummaged in the garbage.

The reporter learned that most of the "cigarette cards" played by students were accumulated by themselves for many days, some of which were obtained from the elders who smoked at home, and some were found in the garbage dump.

"Your current hurdle time is 14 seconds. What reward do you want when you progress to 13 seconds?" "I want the’ smoke card’ of’ harmony with the world’." A teacher in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone told reporters that at first she thought that students wanted lollipops or snacks as rewards, but she didn’t expect that the reward students wanted was a "cigarette card". Therefore, she had to go to an older male teacher to beg for a cigarette case to be made into a "cigarette card".

She introduced that in the eyes of students, different brands of "cigarette cards" represent different values. It is also a cigarette of 100 yuan value, because there are more people smoking "Yellow Crane Tower" than "Harmony with the World" in Wuhan, so the "Harmony with the World" cigarette card is even rarer and more precious in the hearts of students, and they will not easily take out the "Harmony with the World" cigarette card to compete.

The "cigarette card" game is popular among primary school students, and many businesses on the Internet follow suit to sell "cigarette cards". Some students found that "cigarette cards" are valuable, but they are not necessarily real goods. "We can clearly judge that if the card has traces of tearing and some traces of pruning with scissors, it is a real’ cigarette card’. If the card is very neat and the color is completely uniform, it may be a fake’ cigarette card’." A student said.

Parents are worried about the negative effects of expressing their opinions.

"Children used to collect a lot of’ cigarette cards’, and sometimes they packed them in small bags and took them to school to play." A parent from Donghu High-tech Development Zone said that she thought her children were just accumulating cards, and she also collected some for her children. Later, she learned through communication with the teacher that some children were addicted to playing the "cigarette card" game. Not only did they quietly appreciate the "cigarette card" in class, but they also secretly patted the card to practice their skills. After school, they didn’t have the heart to do homework, which led to a decline in their academic performance. After that, she stopped letting their children play the "cigarette card".

Some parents think that if it is just a way of entertainment and leisure, it is good for children to relax or even stay away from their mobile phones. However, many children use violence when playing, and they are rude when hitting "cigarette cards", and some uncivilized behaviors have appeared. Seeing this phenomenon, we should still stop it.

A parent said that because "cigarette cards" are divided into different grades and grades, it is inevitable that there will be competition psychology when playing "cigarette cards" games, which will have a negative impact on children’s growth environment and value shaping.

"Playing’ cigarette cards’ is a bit like taking pictures of foreign countries. We also played it when we were young, and there are different ways to play it in different eras. If it is a box of some healthy food, we may not be anxious, but if it is a’ cigarette card’, we are still very worried. " A parent who lives in Jiang ‘an District of Wuhan told reporters that playing the "cigarette card" game will invisibly expose children to the information of cigarettes, which may make them curious and interested in smoking.

Guangdong parents, whose net name is "Deep Plum Fragrance", said, "The’ cigarette card’ is closely related to cigarettes. As a parent, I am more worried. Because I live near the primary school, many primary school students who play’ cigarette cards’ know all kinds of cigarettes like the palm of their hand, especially when they see that some shops are not standardized and sell the whole box of expired cigarettes to primary school students. "

Experts remind:

Familiarity effect deserves parents’ vigilance.

WeChat official account, the Voice of China of the Central Radio and Television Station, issued a message saying that Shi Yu, a psychologist, said in an interview with the media that parents should be wary of the "cigarette card" game, that is, the "familiarity effect". When children are used to cigarette boxes during the game, they will increase their curiosity and cognition of cigarettes in the future, which requires timely guidance from parents.

Shi Yu said that the "familiarity effect" means that children often see something, and children will have more desire to buy. Playing "cigarette card" may make children more curious about cigarettes and have more desire and impulse to get cigarettes. In addition, there are some hidden dangers in the way children get cigarette boxes, such as turning over trash cans.

Shi Yu told reporters that when children are young, a lot of knowledge is acquired through games. "There is nothing absolutely safe. Parents should educate their children to learn things in games, such as learning to obey rules and learning interpersonal communication."

WeChat official account, Guangming Daily, wrote that playing "cigarette cards" after class can really help children relax, but if it is out of control, it is possible to go from one extreme to the other. Therefore, we should not only respect children’s desire for games, but also constantly observe and improve them in practice, and study how to make better use of children’s precious game time.

The teachers said:

Once found, it will criticize education.

A primary school teacher in Wuchang told Jimu journalist, "Before, students were found playing with’ cigarette cards’ at school. After seeing them, teachers would immediately criticize and educate whether they were their own students or not. At present, there are a few students in the school who play the game of’ cigarette cards’, and there are only one or two’ cigarette cards’. After criticizing education, students have not collected them again. "

Teacher Huang, a sixth-grade class teacher in Wuhan, said that last week, she had just discovered that some students were playing "cigarette cards" on campus and immediately criticized and educated them. Teacher Huang told Jimu news reporter: "Usually, students in the class like to play all kinds of games, some use bottle caps as toys, and some use waste paper to make football. But last week, some students took out their’ cigarette cards’ to play. I immediately criticized and educated them, not only confiscated the’ cigarette cards’, but also informed their parents."

In response to this phenomenon, He Siyuan, a mental health teacher at Xinhua Xialu Middle School in Jianghan District, Wuhan, analyzed that many students play "cigarette cards" in order to gain recognition and avoid isolation. "Compared with getting good grades to get rewards,’ cigarette cards’ can bring random and timely rewards. The pursuit of rare cards is essentially a kind of irregular and indefinite positive feedback, which can bring double stimulation." He Siyuan said.

The reporter learned that many schools in Wuhan have launched initiatives to prohibit students from playing "cigarette card" games on campus. The school said that it will actively educate students about the dangers of tobacco and the possible adverse effects of the "cigarette card" game, and at the same time ask parents to strengthen guidance and education for their children.

Teacher Shi Fayang of Yujiatou Primary School in Wuchang District pointed out that the popularity of the "cigarette card" game reflects children’s curiosity and desire to explore new things when they grow up. As parents and schools, we should pay more attention to the healthy growth of children and guide them to establish correct values and hobbies.

"For children, healthy and beneficial games and activities can not only bring happiness, but also promote their physical and mental development. Therefore, parents and schools should work together to create a healthy and positive growth environment for children. " Xie Yanxia, principal of Zhuankou Primary School in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, said.
