Warnings on Cigarette Packs Could Work in the Opposite Way

In conformity with a recent research, smokers who permanently encounter vivid warnings stating that smoking can provoke health complications and even death, actually create mental strategies to vindicate keeping their pernicious habit.
In contrast, if smokers see warnings saying that smoking may make them less handsome, it will more likely encourage them to quit. Adolescents who started smoking in order to look cool or correspond with their friends were two-times more affected by warnings related to their attractiveness, the research showed.
Therefore, the scientists found out that many smokers are not frightened by death warnings and are likely to continue puffing, since they would anyway perish away. The research said that on average, if smokers face anti-smoking warnings related to probably death, they develop overcoming strains shown in their readiness to proceed along with their dangerous habit.
The research concludes that in order to make smokers want to give up after seeing anti-smoking messages on the packs, it is necessary investigating smokers’ response to death and disease warnings and other messages that are able to frighten them.
The research was carried out by psychologists from three universities located in Germany, Switzerland and the United States. It was led by Joachim Hansen, Psychology Professor at the New York University. The research was based on the survey of 40 students aged 17-40, who admitted to be smokers.
Students answered specially selected questions demonstrating how much their habit was related to self-esteem. After that, they were shown various warnings on  cigarette packs.

Why some people don’t want to quit smoking?

Anyone who has ever given up smoking will know how hard it is and will also know how much better they feel as a result. Yet, despite all the reasons for giving up, many don’t manage it and, for some, it is simply because they don’t want to quit smoking. There are many reasons for this, but some of the more common ones include the following:

Some people simply enjoy smoking. Picking up a cigarette makes them feel better about the world and, provided that they don’t blow smoke all over their friends and family, it isn’t doing anyone else any harm. For some, the social aspect is what they enjoy – the feeling of belonging to a group of people can be incredibly addictive. And some simply enjoy the taste of tobacco and the feeling brought by holding a cigarette in their fingers.

*Health risks are ignored

It’s almost impossible in this day and age to ignore the health risks that are linked with smoking. However, many people choose to ignore them, or to go ahead and smoke regardless because they think it is already too late. Still others are unconvinced of the health risks, thinking that they are over-exaggerated. Ultimately, a smoker has to be convinced of the risks and/or want to give up before a quitting plan can be put into action.

*Giving up is stressful

There is no doubt that giving up smoking is an incredibly stressful thing to do. Smoking is an addiction, so it is rarely possible to just throw away your cigarettes and never smoke them again. Cravings and the shakes are bound to be a result, and, for those whom smoking is used as a crutch to get them through life, they will suddenly be lacking something important. It may simply not be possible for a smoker to cope with the stress that not smoking brings.

*No-one enjoys being told what to do

Online shopping, considered a great option to save money and time

In spite of the fact that many people think that life was easier in the past without all these new discoveries, the dramatic technical progress in the last decade provided a whole new world of pleasant options for web users. For example, now we are able to communicate with our friends from overseas; we can check our bank accounts via e-banking services; we are able to pay bills from home and, one of the most pleasant things, is that now we can buy almost every product we want to, from clothes to cars, without having to go to the shops.

Meantime, we all know how hard the life of present smokers is with all those bans and high prices. I definitely do not admit that smoking is good, but just try to remind that even that I am smoking, I am not a scoundrel that has to be taxed to death.
However, my life has changed to better, when one of my fellow smoking-friends told me about online tobacco shops. Well, you might presume that this is not very legal, but let me tell you that paying $8 per pack of smokes is far more unfair and illegal.
Therefore, I decided to lay aside all the disadvantages and switched to purchasing cigarettes over the web. Of course, it is a little bit scary, due to potential scams, but when you pay by card, it is absolutely secure, because you can simply cancel payment if you would have problems.
Online shops sell the same brands as in local stores, like Marlboro, Camel, Virginia, Pall Mall and others, and provide the opportunity to try original brands of premium quality manufactured by European tobacco companies like Doina, Sobranie, Kiss or Esse. The price of all the cigarettes is astonishingly low, since the stores do not levy any taxes on their products. They simply provide the cigarettes directly from their producers.

Changes in Cigarette Names: Good or Bad?

At present adult smokers will have to keep in mind new names of their favorite cigarettes, while asking them at tobacco stores. The changes in cigarette names should be made by all cigarette producers in order to correspond to the recent rules of U.S. Food and Drug Administration that will come into force on June 22.
In accordance with the new regulations, names of cigarettes brands have to remove such terms as “light,” “ultra light” , “mild,” or “low-tar,” as cigarette consumers are disoriented thinking that cigarettes with these names are less dangerous than “full-flavor” cigarettes. Thus, tobacco manufacturers are changing the names and stress the colors in the names of fags and also on their packs.
For instance, such brand names as Marlboro Menthol Mild and Marlboro Ultra Lights should be renamed to Marlboro Menthol Blue and Marlboro Silver.

“I am smoking Newport Light 100s for many years, and now it is little bit surprising for me to hear its new name and bear it in mind, said Jenny Firat, a smoker from Miami. “It’s simply absurd to impose such regulations, because we all know that there are no good and harmless cigarettes”.
Tobacco producers state that such words as “light” and “mild” explain to smokers the taste of each particular cigarettes variety, and are associated with reduced health complications. For example “lighter” styles usually contain less nicotine and different filters.  Colors are as deceiving as words, while cigarette industry says they have to be given at least one alternative in order to help adult consumers to differentiate various styles of one cigarettes brand.
