Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mass media has provided information on the dangers of smoking, such as the increased risk of cancer and heart disease, which has discouraged nonsmokers from starting the habit. This has had a greater impact on reducing smoking rates than simply providing information to smokers about the health effects of smoking, as many smokers may have difficulty quitting despite knowing the risks. Mass media has not promoted smoking as a habit adopted by high-class societies and stress management programs have had limited success in reducing smoking habits.
