Survey Says Larger Pictorial Warnings Won’t Have Impact on Smoking

The increase in pictorial warnings, however, may cause some to leave the habit because of the repulsive pictures.

After the Supreme Court directed tobacco manufacturing companies to increase the pictorial warning size on cigarette packs and other tobacco products from 20% to 85%, a new survey shows that it will have little impact on smokers.
