- edw519 18y agoWarning messages have been on cigarette packs since 1966.
- buugs 18y agoYes but cancer education and the costs of smoking are more recent. Now smoking is shown as a very deadly habit and many commericials (mostly from philip morris and their new requirements) on quiting and destruction caused by cigs.
- tptacek 18y agoEver seen a Canadian cigarette label? "THESE THINGS WILL KILL YOU AND GIVE YOUR CHILDREN FEET FOR EARS". I don't think the cancer education is working. If anything, advances in treatment (which probably don't do much for lung cancer) are probably dulling the effect you're talking about.
- buugs 18y agoI don't know about that ,but there are so many laws where I live in the U.S. preventing smoking such as: close to buildings, in restaurants, in many bars, within 200 ft of health based buildings (hospitals and the like), at parks/public places I hardly ever meet someone who smokes and that reduces the amount of teens smoking as well. In high school very few teens smoked cigarettes it seems to have moved to pharmaceuticals and the like which are cheaper and easier obtained.
- asciilifeform 18y agoI think it might be more due to the younger generation(s) being the first to see a large number of older smokers live long enough en masse to get lung cancer.
