The folks at Cancer Research UK would like to find out what effect Mumsnetters think cigarette branding and packaging has on children.
Cancer Research UK is campaigning for putting cigarettes in plain, standardised packs, because its research shows it will make smoking less appealing to children. So although the campaign isn't aimed at current smokers, the charity is still keen to get a view from everyone.
If you smoke now, did the branding/packaging have any influence on your choice to start smoking or not?
If you have smoked in the past but since quit, what do you remember about the first cigarette brand you tried?
If you're a non-smoker, how do you feel about cigarette packaging? Do you notice it at all?
Finally, do you have any tips to stop children from smoking in the first place? Is this a subject you have discussed with your DC? If so, what did you say/do? If not, how do you think you would address this situation if it arose in the future? Do your children notice or know any brands of cigarettes? If so, how do they know them?
Thanks for taking part,
MNHQ
