The Moscow News. Russian men are asking the Health Ministry to remove warnings of impotence from cigarette packs amid a government bid to curb smoking
“There are a lot of complaints. For men, the impotence issue is very important, and they’re asking to remove that picture,” RIA Novosti quoted Health Ministry official Natalia Kostenko as saying. “Apparently, this has affected men’s minds a great deal and they don’t want to see these pictures on cigarette packs.” Kostenko was detailing a slew of responses from people to pictures warning smokers about the dangers of tobacco. An anti-tobacco law banning smoking in public places went into effect on June 1. The first cigarette packs featuring illustrated warnings went on sale on June 12. Kostenko noted other suggestions from people who said they wanted to see harsher warnings and more graphic pictures on cigarette packs, as well as hotlines for people with nicotine addiction. About 54 percent of Russians say they don’t smoke and never have, according to a poll conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research (VTsIOM) in December among 1,600 respondents, RIA Novosti reports. Meanwhile, a 2010 World Heath Organization study found that about 60 percent of men and nearly 22 percent of women in Russia are smokers.
