BOX 3–1
1977 British American Tobacco Company Document Describing Advertising and Communication Strategies to Reassure Consumers About Safety

“All work in this area [communications] should be directed towards providing consumer reassurance about cigarettes and the smoking habit…by claimed low deliveries, by the perception of low deliveries and by the perception of “mildness.” Furthermore, advertising for low delivery or traditional brands should be constructed in ways so as not to provoke anxiety about health, but to alleviate it, and to enable the smoker to feel assured about the habit and confident in maintaining it over time” [emphasis in original].
