美国药管局估计这些警示标识将让美国烟民数量在2013年减少21.3万,到2031年还会继续减少,尽管幅度不会那么大。

有些国家,如加拿大和乌拉圭,数年来都在使用这种恐怖图像作为警示标识。多项研究表明这种警示标识会促使人们戒烟。但是具体而言这些警示标识的效果如何仍存在争议,因为在警示标识之外,通常还伴随着政府的其他戒烟措施。
"I think it's a great deterrentfor kids," said Kristen Polland, 24, of Prattville, Ala. "If you start there, you have won half of the battle."
来自阿拉巴马州普拉特维尔的24岁的克里丝藤 波兰德说:“我认为这对于孩子是一个很好的震慑手段。如果你从孩子抓起,仗就打赢了一半。”
