Effects of tobacco advertising restrictions: weak responses to strong measures?

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that restrictions on advertising of tobacco products have failed to result in a decline in consumption. The idea that advertsing can influence a consumer toward new behaviors is called the 'strong' theory of advertising. Such theory is not supported by research on tobacco consumption, such as evidence that young people's knowledge of tobacco ads and their behaviors relating to smoking have no real correlation.
