Plain Packs combined with providing smokers with an effective method of stopping smoking would be a great step in the direction of reducing the influence of Big Tobacco on youngsters and helping smokers to quit.<br><br>We thought long and hard about whether to support plain packs and the following points were compelling.<br><br>a) we support plain packs not graphic photos of smoking diseases. Graphic photos eventually become ignored by smokers who \u201ctune out\u201d of them in the same way as they have done with the printed health warnings on the packs. Even the smokers who notice the graphic photo warnings and experience fear are likely to react by\u2026lighting a cigarette. If a smoker experiences fear \u2013 what does he do? He smokes.<br><br>b) plain packs will have nil impact on current smokers and current smoker behavior \u2013 other than to perhaps annoy smokers and (in some cases) make them even more determined to carry on.<br><br>c) if there is the slightest chance that plain packs will reduce the number of kids starting to smoke \u2013 we really do have to support it \u2013 there is an epidemic of youngsters taking up smoking\u2026.even if it\u2019s the equivalent of bailing out a sinking boat with a teacup \u2013 at least it\u2019s doing something!!<br><br>d) are plain packs realistically going to cause harm? No<br><br>e) our support is for plain packs combined with providing smokers with effective methods of stopping smoking (of course this is where we come in). Without that element the plain packs campaign is more than a little lightweight. The wording of our support hopefully makes that clear.<br><br>The great news for smokers is that there is an easy way to quit smoking.
