The new labels aren’t an original idea and probably won’t work, sophomore Emily Rayburn said. “I went to London and they had done the same thing; it didn’t affect anyone. It might make more queasy people quit,” she said.
The governments of Canada, Brazil, Australia and Singapore have also been among the countries that have tried these policies. Canada’s smoking rate has decreased five percent in the last decade. According to the FDA website, final regulations about the labels will be issued by June 22, 2011, and the new warning labels will be required within 15 months following that date. People who flout the ban will be issued an on-the-spot fine of $150.
However, underage offenders are given a reprieve and sent to counselling first. If they are caught smoking in public a second time, they will be fined. Dk Nurzafiftah also debunked the myth that shisha smoking, a popular pastime among youth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],marlboro cigarettes, is safer than cigarettes smoking. “Smoking shisha for 45 minutes is equal to smoking 50 cigarettes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” she noted.
“It exposes a person to twice the volume of carbon monoxide and three times the level of nicotine.” The senior nurse added that sharing a shisha pipe is a risky habit that can lead to dangerous infections such as tuberculosis, herpes and hepatitis.

The initiative needs the approval of the state Public Health Council ― an appointed panel of doctors, disease trackers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and consumer activists ― but board members yesterday expressed unequivocal support. Since the 1990s, Massachusetts has been at the vanguard of US efforts to reduce tobacco use, the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States.
The signs are modeled on a nothing-left-to-the-imagination campaign in New York City,cheap marlboro cigarettes website online, where signs showing the health effects of smoking began sprouting in 11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],500 shops last December. Massachusetts health authorities provided copies of the New York City posters as an illustration of what their campaign will look like.
“If somebody is trying to quit smoking and they go back to the store and they’re tempted ― oh, just one pack ― we hope this will help them make a different choice,’’ said Lois Keithly, director of the Massachusetts Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program.
The campaign is being underwritten by $316,000 in federal stimulus money from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which will allow the state to provide the materials to retailers without charge. Because the posters will be produced by outside vendors, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Health said, it conforms to the intent of the stimulus law, providing jobs in a sour economy.
The Massachusetts Public Health Council is expected to vote on the graphic posters in August,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the only misgiving members expressed yesterday was whether the campaign would be rendered in enough languages to reach the state’s increasingly diverse population. “We need to help our immigrant populations deal with this,’’ said Dr. Michele David, a council member.
The regulations will vary, depending on whether stores have tobacco displays or, instead, keep cigarettes and other tobacco products behind the counter. The biggest signs ― those displayed next to racks freighted with tobacco goods ― will measure 8 1/2-by-11-inches; cash register signs will be smaller.
