How does a consumer process and act upon this mixed information? The impact of pictorial warnings is illustrated in experiments in which respondents report the dangerousness of products such as beer, ice cream, and cigarettes; pictorial and nonpictorial warnings were attached to advertisements for those products. We suggest that selection of warnings by manufacturers and service providers can and should be based on empirical demonstration of the efficacy of those warnings.

- Package warnings efficiently target smokers .
- 2 billion regular smokers in the world today, approximately one third of the global population over the age of 15, and the numbers are rising (World Health Organization 2002). ... There is a clear need for effective ways to inform and alert smokers and provide information on how to reduce their tobacco-related health risks. Strongly worded, specific, large label information on tobacco product packages provides important public health messages, targeting smokers.
- Many countries require health warnings on tobacco products. Evaluations of these warnings conclude that they are effective only if they contain multiple strong and direct messages that are prominently displayed (WHO 1997). Evidence from Canada and Brazil shows that the large warnings with photos introduced recently are effective in discouraging smoking and increasing public awareness of the health effects of smoking (Environics 2002, Costa e Silva 2002). Of 633 Canadian smokers surveyed nine months after new, large pictorial warnings were introduced, 58% said the pictures had made them think.

In Australia, stronger warning labels resulted in a 29% increase in the percentage of people reporting that they always noticed the warnings, and a 7% increase in people reporting forgoing smoking at least once due to the warnings (Borland 1997). ... A survey of 8,836 people 15 and older in the Netherlands in 2002 found that 16% of the 2,812 smokers surveyed said that new, larger health warnings made them more motivated to quit, (this was 26% among smokers who intend to quit at some point); 8. 7% said they were already smoking less as a result of the new warnings. ... Strong health warnings and information about where to turn for help in quitting help reinforce this attitude (Mahood 1995). ...

72. 1996 Amendments to FTC Smokeless Tobacco Regulation
- www.arentfox.com
- Regulations Under the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of .
- SUMMARY: The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 ("Smokeless Tobacco Act") requires that all packaging and advertising for smokeless tobacco products display one of three health warnings in rotating sequence. On January 16, 1993, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a method for rotating the health warnings on promotional materials based on the date of dissemination of the materials. On February 14, 1995, the Commission published another Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment on a proposal to permit rotation of warnings on utilitarian items based on either the date of order or the date of dissemination of the items, provided the production of such items is carried out in a manner consistent with customary business practices. ...
- Congress enacted the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 for the express purpose of educating the public about the health consequences of using smokeless tobacco products. ... To achieve this end, the Act required the random display of three warnings on the packaging and the rotation of these warnings in the advertising of smokeless tobacco products. ...
- Specifically, the Smokeless Tobacco Act mandated that one of the following three health warnings appear in the labeling and advertising (with the exception of outdoor billboard advertising) of smokeless tobacco products: .
- The Commission's original regulations exempted utilitarian items from the regulations governing the rotation and display of the health warnings. ... n1 Accordingly, in 1991, the Commission issued final regulations setting out requirements for the rotation and display of health warnings on utilitarian items. ... If the promotion was scheduled to last less than one year, the materials or items bearing the various warnings could be distributed randomly. ...
- On February 14, 1995, the Commission published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on whether the requirements for rotating the health warnings on utilitarian items should be amended. The proposed rule permitted the rotation of warnings on utilitarian items according to either the date the item is ordered or the date of dissemination, provided that the production of the materials is carried out consistent with customary business practices. ...
- Both the date of dissemination requirement and the more flexible date of order safe harbor appear likely to meet the chief benefit intended by the regulations: Providing a system for the rotation of health warnings as required by the Smokeless Tobacco Act. ... With these amendments, the regulations governing the rotation of warnings for utilitarian items will mirror those for promotional materials. ...
- Given the practical constraints associated with the production and dissemination of utilitarian items and those for promotional materials, the Commission believes that the industry should be given some flexibility in conforming the rotation requirements to these types of advertising, while at the same time ensuring that the warnings rotate as required by the Smokeless Tobacco Act. If, however, there is a pattern of abuse or confusion suggesting that the safe harbors do not provide for adequate rotation of the warnings, the Commission will reconsider whether it is necessary to promulgate regulations providing less flexibility and more specificity. ...
