The Graphic Pictures On Smokes Do Work

A spokesperson with the Province's Lung Association thinks increasing the size of pictures of diseased lungs and mouths on cigarette packaging is a good move by Ottawa.


Barb MacKinnon tells CHSJ News research shows people definitely react to the pictures.
She says the same pictures have been in place for 10 years in this country and needed to be refreshed.
MacKinnon adds they hope the images will aid in keeping young people from starting to smoke and help smokers to consider quitting.
