张之江经历了清末与民初禁烟,深刻意识到烟毒之害,主张以革命的精神彻底禁烟。他提出禁烟首在禁种,社会上首在唤起民众。基于此,他组织禁烟委员会,结束各地禁烟局,又开设禁烟纪念日,动员教会协助禁烟,提倡禁烟与国术并重。张之江的禁烟思想与实践,对南京国民政府初期禁烟政策的调整与转变起到了一定作用,但迫于政治现实,也存在一定的局限性,禁烟最终以失败而告终。
Zhang Zhijiang experienced the situation of banning opium in Late Qing and Early Republican China.
He was deeply aware of the harm of opium, and advocated the complete banning of opium in the spirit of revolution.
He proposed that the first thing to banning policy is to ban planting, and the priority is to arouse the awareness of
the people. Therefore, he organized anti-opium committee, ended local anti-opium bureaus, set up anti-opium
memorial day, mobilized the Christian priests to assist in anti-smoking, and advocated paying equal attention to
opium and Chinese Wushu. Zhang Zhijiang's thought and practice of banning opium to a certain extent played a
role in the adjustment and transformation of Nanjing National Government's early opium prohibition policy, but due
to the political reality, there were also some limitations, and the practice of banning opium ended in failure.
