According to a British study, followers of cigarettes are less attractive than non-smokers, while tobacco consumption seemed to appear so far as a point capable of seducing.
SMOKING IS NOT SEDUCTIVE!
While the question of the presence of the cigarette in the movies arises for some time now, and for the incentive to smoke that it would provoke with a young public, it would seem today that being a smoker is more necessarily an element of seduction.
In any case, this is what British researchers at the University of Bristol (in the south of England) tend to say, who asked 500 people for a study. To each of these volunteers were presented pictures of 23 duos of twins and twins. Each pair consisted of a smoker and a non-smoker. Of course, it was not clear to the participants of the investigation where the smoker was, the purpose of the approach being to determine whether it was possible to recognize one just on his face and to measure the attractiveness. smokers.
The study, quoted by Biba Magazine, points out that "because identical twins share their genetic material and certain aspects of their environment (education, parenting, cultural background), the differences between them may be due to environmental effects such as lifestyle and eating habits. tobacco".
The volunteers submitted themselves to two simple questions after consulting the pairs of faces: "Which person smokes?"And"Which one is the most attractive?"70% have been able to identify tobacco users, with also a" large majority "having attributed the greatest attractiveness to non-smokers.
In light of these results, researchers appear optimistic about the design of health campaigns that could play on the visual duality smoker / non-smoker. For now, teenagers seem to understand the message: "Young people are particularly aware of the potential negative effects of smoking on the physical appearance as we age".
