Are cigarette warning labels effective?

Cindy Cham, third-year rhetoric student

I don’t think so because my dad sees them and still buys them.
Shameem Ahmed, computer analyst

I think it is effective for those who aren’t smoking, but not for those who are (smoking).
Neil Saiin, sales associate, Wishes and Dreams

I’d say not at all, I smoke and ignore the label. The label doesn’t seem enough in the present to faze me.
John Thompson, owner, The Book Man

Well I don’t smoke, but they should be somewhat effective. It would be a good idea to vary them.
Karleigh Jephcote, fifth-year education student

Yes I do, to an extent; however, they should provide alternate methods to show the effects of smoking.
Jesse Marantz, fourth-year physics student

Well I think it is important that they are there, but if people want to smoke they will smoke, especially if they want to smoke multiple packs. So no, not very effective.
