Smoking is hazardous for your health

40 years ago, in 1966, first appeared a frightening inscription on cigarette packs about the dangers of smoking.
Professionals believe that the slogan is the most inefficient social advertising in the world.
Nine Words “General Surgeon Warning: Smoking is hazardous for your health” occupied 4 - 5 % of the surface area of cigarette packets.
Experts on advertising say: this advertisement is so small even to read this slogan.
Sociological measurements in the EU countries have shown: the inscription and truth nobody reads.
To resolve this situation European Parliament and European committees decided to print on cigarette packs the pictures of damaged organs, such as rotten teeth or infected lungs. And to convince smokers about the real warning this picture occupied 40% of one side of cigarette packets.
Example is United States and Scandinavia, where in latest years there was an increase in number of smokers.
All progress has been made where the emphasis was not on a discouraging example, but there were bonuses promoted, which smokers received.

Poor student got more pleasure from sport, sex and travel and increased his price than rush to get cigarettes or diet lunch and reduce his price.

An estimate made by sociologists say that up to half of doctors today are smoking. If your doctor is smoking how do expect not to smoke yourself.
