Tobacco Industry Tactics: Packaging and Labelling
WHO-EM/TFI/201/E Tobacco industry tactics: packaging and labelling Tobacco packs are key to marketing and advertising. The tobacco industry challenges large, graphic warnings and pack size/colour restrictions using intellectual property and “slippery slope” arguments. Through litigation, or threat of litigation, the industry seeks to delay implementation of packaging and labelling restrictions. Donations, political contributions and so- called corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities can result in pro-industry arguments gaining political support. Introduction Tobacco packaging is a potent marketing tool. Pack design and colour are used to manipulate people’s perception of the level of harm and increase the products’ appeal, especially among the young, including young women (1–4). For the public health community, packaging is an important medium for communicating health messages (5). Studies from all over the world have concluded that large graphic warnings are associated with reduced tobacco consumption and smoking prevalence, and with increased knowledge of health risks and efforts to quit(6) . Therefore, Article 11 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) mandates the adoption and implementation of health warnings on tobacco product packaging and labelling. Article 11 of the WHO FCTC focuses on two key aspects: an effective warning label; and restrictions on misleading or deceptive packaging/labelling elements, including descriptors (light, mild, low tar), emissions yields, and other elements that detract from health warnings or convey that one product is safer than another. To undermine the effectiveness of packaging and labelling regulations, tobacco companies increasingly use pack colours to replace misleading descriptors and convey the perception of “reduced risk”, to diminish health concerns and reduce the impact of health warning labels (7). -

The UK government is considering the policy of ‘plain packaging’ for tobacco products. If such a law is passed, all cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco will be sold in generic packs without branding or trademarks. All packs will be the same size and colour (to be decided by the government) and the only permitted images will be large graphic warnings, such as photos of tumours and corpses. Consumers will be able to distinguish between products only by the brand name, which will appear in a small, standardised font. 2. As plain packaging has yet to be tried anywhere in the world, there is no solid evidence of its efficacy or unintended consequences. 3. Focus groups and opinion polls have repeatedly shown that the public does not believe that plain packaging will stop people smoking. -
Plain Packaging of Cigarettes and Smoking Behavior
Maynard et al. Trials 2014, 15:252 http://www.trialsjournal.com/content/15/1/252 TRIALS STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Plain packaging of cigarettes and smoking behavior: study protocol for a randomized controlled study Olivia M Maynard1,2,3*, Ute Leonards3, Angela S Attwood1,2,3, Linda Bauld2,4, Lee Hogarth5 and Marcus R Munafò1,2,3 Abstract Background: Previous research on the effects of plain packaging has largely relied on self-report measures. Here we describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of the plain packaging of cigarettes on smoking behavior in a real-world setting. Methods/Design: In a parallel group randomization design, 128 daily cigarette smokers (50% male, 50% female) will attend an initial screening session and be assigned plain or branded packs of cigarettes to smoke for a full day. Plain packs will be those currently used in Australia where plain packaging has been introduced, while branded packs will be those currently used in the United Kingdom. Our primary study outcomes will be smoking behavior (self-reported number of cigarettes smoked and volume of smoke inhaled per cigarette as measured using a smoking topography device). Secondary outcomes measured pre- and post-intervention will be smoking urges, motivation to quit smoking, and perceived taste of the cigarettes. Secondary outcomes measured post-intervention only will be experience of smoking from the cigarette pack, overall experience of smoking, attributes of the cigarette pack, perceptions of the on-packet health warnings, behavior changes, views on plain packaging, and the rewarding value of smoking. Sex differences will be explored for all analyses. -

Tobacco Accessories
Tobacco Accessories Japanese men in the Edo period (1615–1868) wore various accessories suspended from their kimono waist sashes, including tobacco implements. Tobacco was smoked with long pipes (kiseru), which were stored in pipe cases of various designs. The objects shown here include a tobacco pouch and pipe case set as well as individual pipe cases and lacquered tobacco containers (inro).

The moisture content of cigarette tobacco directly affects the smoking quality and storage period of cigarettes. The influence of the sealing property of cigarette packets on the moisture of the cigarette was studied, and a solution to improve the sealing property of the small package was provided. At the same time, the standard boundary for judging the packaging tightness of cigarette packets is calculated. Under different temperature and humidity environment, the air flow rate of the same packing box is higher than that of the 30-40mL/min interval. Improvement measures were applied to determine the packing seal value index of soft package cigarettes under certain conditions 1 Introduction packaging quality was analyzed [5]. The research aimed at improving the external quality and influencing factors The sealing of cigarette packaging is directly related to of the small box transparent packaging, and some the moisture content and volatile aroma components of scholars also put forward an effective improvement cigarettes. The moisture content of cigarettes directly method [6-7]. There is no unified standard for the leads to mildew and variation of smoking taste, which determination of the small box seal degree of cigarette at seriously reduces the storage time of cigarettes and present, but the industry standard of 2013 YC/T140- reduces the sensory quality of cigarettes [1].
