FT | Cigarette Warning | 12/12/2011


Cigarette warning
WE are all familiar with the dangers and harms of smoking.
The cigarette packets contain these warnings on them so the consumer can take heed.
Some of these cautioning labels include: Smoking harms unborn babies, smoking causes cancer and smoking causes heart diseases.
The astounding thing I have noticed is that people purchase their cigarette based on the health warning that appears on the packets.
While sitting in a shop with a friend I noticed customers coming in and asking for "one packet cancer".
There is a belief that the packet with the cancer label is stronger than the others.
Can someone from the relevant authority please shed some light on this situation?
