In New Zealand, graphic, gruesome anti-smoking ads
have little or no effect on teenagers and young adults-
probably because they see far weirder horrors in their
daily video games. Violence and gore is a norm.
When it's explained that the opposite sex will not find
a smoker visually or aromatically attractive, and that
will lead to being left out of social circles- this approach
appears to be working to discourage young smokers....
time will tell...now I just read another article that says
youthful smoking is on the rise in New Zealand. There
are many sides and opinions to these stories.
New Zealand's goal is to be smoke free by 2025...
that's some goal...here's an article from MSN
Young people in NZ don't smoke for fear of being ostracized socially.....
