Can Cigarette Displays increase Smoking among people?

Published on November 24, 2008 3:10 AM

Cigarette displays must be banned by Government in shops too, reported a parliamentary committee. It is known that there was already a ban on advertising tobacco products but they could still be displayed in shops.

But in this time they need for more evidence before implementing a new ban. That’s why the Health Committee made the recommendation after considering a petition signed by more than 20,000 people in support of the ban. The Health Ministry said there were over 10,000 retail outlets selling tobacco products, usually displayed in large highly visible units.

The New Zealand Association of Convenience Stores found that tobacco products accounted for about 37 percent of members' annual sales. The association said financial incentives offered to retailers by tobacco companies were confidential. Also it added that moving displays units would cost each retailer up to $6000 and revenue would decline.

According to a report, in other countries where bans were implemented stores had not had to close, nor were jobs lost. Iceland, Thailand and most of Canada banned cigarette displays too. Iceland recorded some decline in smoking but it could not be attributed solely to the ban.

In a study was shown that smoking caused illnesses cost the health system between $300 million and $350 million a year. Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) New Zealand welcomed the committee's decision. ASH director Ben Youdan said tobacco should not be treated like other products, because "It kills half the people who use it, yet for too long we have allowed these addictive and deadly poisons to be sold next to the milk and chocolates."

Mr. Youdan added that the ban was critical to attract youth to smoke. The average start age was around 14-15 years old. He said: "Young people are the new recruits the tobacco companies need to replace the 4700 Kiwis who die every year from smoking. We know this ban will be effective - that's why industry has been so vocally opposed to the idea -- the displays are one of the last bastions of cigarette marketing."

Researchers are sure that the cigarette displays were de facto advertising which encouraged young people to buy cigarettes.
