CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Feb. 23 (UPI) — While smokers and non-smokers agree in their disdain for graphic images on packs of cigarettes, smokers say the pictures still won’t stop them from lighting up.
Researchers at the University of Illinois found the images made people feel like their freedoms were being infringed on, and in some cases encouraged people’s smoking habit.
Large warnings, images of diseased body parts, and pictures of people dying from smoking-related diseases have decreased smoking rates in countries where they’ve been added to cigarette wrappers. Many regulations in other countries were coupled with new taxes or restrictions, which researchers note may also have caused smoking to decrease.
