CC Health & Medical Cigarette Packaging Rules Discussion Questions
| I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study? Tobacco companies are required to include warning labels on cigarette packaging. It has been recommended that they illustrate the effects of cigarette smoking. These images are quite graphic; examples include diseased lungs and a man exhaling cigarette smoke through his neck by way of a tracheotomy hole.Respond to the following questions:1. How do you feel about these regulations?2. Will this type of packaging make a difference in the number of people who smoke? If not, can you think of other ways to encourage people to quit or prevent others from starting this habit?3. Do you think these kinds of labels should be used to deter people from purchasing unhealthy foods? For instance, should soda labels have pictures of rotting teeth? |
