Picture warnings on cigarette packets depicting the dangers of smoking make little impact on teenage smokers, a study suggests.
The UK introduced the images, which depict things such as diseased lungs and heart surgery, in 2008.
But the Stirling University study found the images have had almost no effect on deterring 11 to 16-year-old smokers.
However, they have had an effect on non-smokers and experimental smokers.
