The graphic images on the packs almost no effect on those who have already fallen into the nicotine trap.
Thus they are not forced to think about abandoning bad habits no restriction on the display of scenes of cigarettes in movies, no selling of packs in locked cabinets or frightening pictures on packs. To such conclusions have come the experts of the independent analytical Agency Magram Market Research.
The research Agency Magram Market Research conducted in August in the cities of Russia. The survey polled 1.8 thousand men and women from 18 to 64 years with different experience of Smoking.
83% of respondents said that the intensity of their Smoking and decision to quit the habit was not affected by the restriction on the display of scenes of cigarettes in movies. 78% said nothing has changed selling cigarettes in locked cabinets.
More powerful arguments in favor of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked or refuses to become a ban on Smoking in public places (40%) and increase in excise duties, which led to the increase in the price of tobacco products (33%).
