Re: smoking warning labels
ok I have 2 packets of baccy atm
'Smoking clogs the arteries and causes heart attacks & strokes.'
'Smoking seriously harms you and others around you.'
'Your doctor or pharmacist can help you stop smoking'
'Smoking kills'
I can't remember the wording on the one that claims smoking causes infertility, but I wondered if anyone had ever used it to their advantage - 'trust me you won't get pregnant - I'm on 20 a day'

I'm sorry I tried to rep you for the above but I have to spread it about for a while.

Re: smoking warning labels
Stopping smoking reduces the risk of fatal heart and lung diseases.
Do you want the foreign language ones as well?

its to do with a project I am doing on risk perception in the nuclear industry. Depending on the nature of the risk, how you are exposed, whether you have any choice in the risk has a marked effect on what you think is 'significant'. SO a small radiation dose with a fatal cancer probability of 1 death in every 10,000 exposed will worry many, but smokers who smoke 20 a day have a cancer probability risk of say 1:200 for each year they like. THis is despite of the warning label on fag packets ....
I'm just interested in exploring this concept ...

Re: smoking warning labels
And the risk of dieing in a fatal car / train / motorbike / pedestrian accident on the way to the airport is higher than the risk of a plane crash, terrorism etc.

Re: smoking warning labels
indeed that is the case - but which gets the most press ?
If I were to do a risk assessment (as someone who does them all the time) on a house spider, where by 1=low and 10=high, for a number of hazards that it could expose me to then I might have something like this ....
Kill me if I eat it = 1
Toxic if I touch it = 1
full of ladder if falls in my face = 8
jump at me = 1
and so on ... you get the drift ...
the 'risk' is low - my perception of what it might do to me (how ever crazy that is) means I will always hate them and avoid at all costs ..It does not matter if someone convinces me that they are safe .....
