The secondary aim of this paper was to investigate whether the dose of: A) PRO-FIT*advice, B) face-to-face counselling, C) telephone booster calls, and D) the complete intervention-package, was associated with change in lifestyle behaviour and LDL-C levels.
Plain packaging was associated with lower ratings of enjoyment and satisfaction of smoking in comparison with fully branded packaging.
Plain packaging, in comparison with fully branded packaging, was associated with foregoing cigarettes, smoking less around others, increased thoughts of cessation and reduced consumption.
In comparison to plain packaging, the presentation of branded packaging was associated with higher odds of smokers' purchase intentions (OR=2.18, 95% CI 1.34 to 3.54; p=0.002).
In comparison to fully branded packaging, plain packaging was associated with more negative perceptions and feelings about the pack and about smoking (p<0.001).
In Table 3, the number of acupuncture treatments (from ≥1 to ≥15 packages) was associated with the risk of AMI in stroke patients, and the p value was <0.0001.
Plain packaging was associated with significantly reduced smoker ratings of 'positive pack characteristics' (p<0.001), 'positive smoker characteristics' (p=0.003) and 'positive taste characteristics' (p=0.033) in the Winfield brand name condition only.
This study provides the first direct evidence that the attractiveness of cigarette packaging is associated with susceptibility to smoke.
