According to a survey in Canada that assessed the effectiveness of tobacco packaging warning labels, 44% of the participants were terrified by the warning labels, 58% of the participants developed negative reactions to the labels. The report also pointed out that the smokers who reacted more to the warning labels were more likely to quit smoking, try to quit smoking, or reduce the amount of smoking in 3 months. In addition, 30% of the participants would attempt to avoid looking at the labels, but would still consider quitting smoking. This survey shows us that the lawmakers shouldn't doubt the effectiveness of anti-tobacco promotion.

　　The politicians in Florida had been debating over the anti-tobacco budget. The state congress wanted to reduce the spending on Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT). They felt that the money should be spent on buying more educational equipment, instead of spent on some anti-tobacco advertisement that only tried to be cool. The member of the SWAT didn't think so. A 16-year-old youth from Miami named Judy Peacock said that these lawmakers didn't understand that the main reasons for young people to smoke are to try to be cool and be showy.

The government promotes "Smoke Free Family".

　　Once during the school's lunch break, Judy Peacock had planned a sarcastic funeral for the "Camel Joe" to celebrate the Kick Cigarette Butt Day. Judy Peacock said that some people opposed the SWAT budget and anti-tobacco advertisements because they didn't realize that these anti-tobacco activities were successful because they relied on trying to be cool to reach the audience. Therefore, we need to combine the tobacco control and prevention measures from the school and governing bodies, to teach the kids about the health risk of smoking, and teach them the correct mindset about not smoking and not breathing in second-hand smoke, in order to reduce the rate of tobacco use in young people.

　　The experts agree with this thinking as well. According to research, young people are not interested in the traditional ways of teaching, which could actually increase the smoking rate in youth. The SWAT also pointed out that, after revealing the truth about the tobacco companies using sexy models to beautify tobacco products and establishing smoking as an undesirable activity, the percentage of the youth who think smoking is uncool has jumped from 45% to 59%.

　　For the adult smokers, the anti-smoking promotion can help establish the motivation to quit smoking. When a smoker is thinking about quitting, the possibility of physical dependence needs to be evaluated. Generally speaking, for someone who smokes more than a pack of cigarettes or who needs to smoke within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning, it is easier for them to experience some side effects, such as feeling tired, easily agitated, losing sleep, hard to focus, and increasing weight. But the severity of these symptoms may vary among individuals, and the symptoms may become less and less severe with time, and may disappear after 3 weeks.

　　Quitting smoking has the following advantages:

To promote "smoking quitting"

　It needs to be clarified that not every person who quit smoking will experience weight gain. Even when weight increases, it goes up by 2 to 4 kilograms. Ways to prevent weight gains are avoiding food with high calories, frequent exercise, and chew gum or carrot if there is a urge to smoke. When advising people to quit smoking, correct facts need to be given to them.
