　　Bloggers have responded with much divergence¹ on the issue.

 

　　For:

 

　　@ Jiang Nan Mi Mi: Fireworks should already have been banned. They are dangerous and can cause a lot of noise in addition to scattered² paper rubbish and air pollution. Do you know how much fireworks rubbish sanitation³ workers have to clean up every year during the Spring Festival?

 

　　Against:

 

　　@ Chou Mi Zi Mao Miao: What's the fun of Spring Festival if setting off fireworks is banned? The government should put more emphasis on how to control coal combustion⁴, the fuel quality and polluting factories. These are the major factors of air pollution instead of a few days of a fireworks spree.

 

　　@ bluedd: Fireworks should not be banned. It's a tradition that needs to be preserved. But we can set off fireworks and firecrackers in a temperate⁵ manner. If the air quality is worsening, we can set off fewer.
