Once every kid crosses the threshold of adolescence, they are told time and again that smoking or tobacco in any form is a mucky and perilous routine that they are supposed to steer clear of , despite any peer pressure or other analogous circumstances. Nevertheless most of them still continue to pick it up in any case.
So the Health ministry had an eureka moment and decided to put extremely graphic images of affected lungs and so on the packaging of the cigarettes and other tobacco derivatives, in a desperate attempt to build a rapport with the apprehensive parents.
Apart from that, more recently the manufacturers of Chewable tobacco and Pan Masala were proscribed from using plastic packaging, leaving the impoverished retailers in the blue. The new paper packaging doesn’t persist for more than a few days and as a result the prices have been escalated beyond MRPs in many locales.
This trend presupposes that a touch more of inhibiting information is all teenagers call for to be effectively aloof from tobacco and cigarettes.
If truth be told, it is not the case. Teenagers who begin smoking do so in part due to the seditious feeling appended to it. The latest labels and increasing prices will only put emphasis on the seditious appeal and augment the premise of smoking. The more people (adults) censure it, the better they would feel while doing it.
There is actual scientific substantiation for my discourse on this issue, for that matter, and to illustrate the vanity of the government – more so than in the light of the fiascos in recent times.
During an experiment in the year 2006 : smokers were shown cigarette warning labels collected from different nations as they stay put in an MRI scanner, which gauges blood flow to and from the brain. The results were astounding.
The places in the brain connected with fright and alarm were reasonably calm. However the nucleus accumbens , which is an region related to longings, and a crucial link in our brains’s judgment process, displayed heaps of stimulation.
So, it can be reasonably concluded that the explicitly graphic- warning labels are not keeping smokers at bay , but as the results suggest; strangely enough , the images were making them pine for a cigarette.
Adverse Health warnings above all—and generally the warnings that adulate that smoking makes you unsightly, for an example, are capable of making a number of smokers feel a lot better about the routine than otherwise.
As for a solution , I do not think that a universal one exists. It is after all a flourishing industry and regardless of frequent setbacks has come back to spread cancer to one and all.
Some people who chime in that it isn’t the smoker’s slipup because tobacco is just too addictive to beat are terribly mistaken. They ought to look at the numerous “I quit at last” forums on the internet full of the people sharing their experiences of quitting it after going through one health problem or the other.
The Government should stop while it still can , as its habit of considering the people as soulless-marionettes is really getting on their nerves . People can and will quit smoking when they want to!
