I think you'll find they couldn't care less about the packaging. Just because they can recognise it doesn't mean they don't care about the contents.

The large majority of teens/adults, when asked, would be able tell you at least 10 different cigarette brand names and what colour their packaging is. The tobacco companies rely on their packaging to have any brand recognition and presence. Regardless of what colour the packaging is, all cigarettes are highly dangerous, eg. a Marlboro light is as damaging as a Marlboro red, the pacakging is misleading.Carl Simpsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-61254180830414415802012-03-01T21:08:14.572+00:002012-03-01T21:08:14.572+00:00There's a load of these posters in my home tow...There's a load of these posters in my home town of Bournemouth.

I'm beginning to believe that the people who use the "protect the children" argument are most likely to be paedos. I mean, if you focus so much on children, you must really, really like them. Right? In line with that thinking, I wonder: when ASH recruit kids for protests, do the adults need CRBs? Should the nannies need CRBs before polling kids?Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-26772499552703311582012-02-28T20:29:55.530+00:002012-02-28T20:29:55.530+00:00DP, you keep me sane.
