effective ba yun warnings of health hazard sa pack ng cigarette?

**shadow** · June 7th, 2011 10:08 AM

just saw this morning an imported cigarette pack with a clear health hazard warnings stamp to it

front

back

then I compare it to our local cigarette pack markings.

bakit hinde gawin sa atin na ganyan? bakit addictive lang sinasabi?

Instead of just text-only warnings, which I think people have become immune to, the Philippine government should push for graphic cigarette label warnings:

sa tingin ko ang effective talaga is it to have higher prices. tipong 20-40 pesos per stick.

+1 parang mag dalawang isip na yung iba na mag yosi

yung yosi sa pinas, iba iba nakalagay na text. smoking kills addictive etc. since im a smoker, hindi talaga effective yung text nor yung pictures since im already hooked. siguro sa mga bata na nagiisip magsubok magyosi, there might be a probability na they would think twice and not go though with it.

The pictures, as said by archie is not useful on hooked smokers like him. For sure before they go into the habit, they already knew the consequences they might face. For kids [ yes, kids ] it might be effective as most of them are doing it just to have that cool image & when they see that specific yucky image pasted on the cigarette pack probably they'll realize that it's not so cool after all.

One thing to do if they would really want to lessen the smokers is to impose a huge amount of tax on it & probably ending up with a 200/pack price. That of course will hinder addicts/newbies in buying as spending a bountiful amount of money on futile things such as cigars is no joke.

alam na ngang masama ang yosi, di i-stop ang paggawa ng yosi.
tapos ang problema......

Tingin ko hindi effective. Hindi naman nila binabasa iyan.

Dapat mahalan ang presyo ng yosi para hindi maging affordable sa karamihan.
