A new U.S. study has further hit the tobacco industry by proposing that advertising and promoting of the cigarette brands have a negative impact on teenagers.
The team of researchers from the Stanford Prevention Research Center at the Stanford University Medical School, who initiated the present study, proposed that watching tobacco advertisements could make teens resort to smoking and become addicted to it.
According to the study findings, the youth who watched any sort of advertisements or promotional matter of tobacco at the gas stations, grocery stores and others were two times more prone to taking up the bad habit.
