3.3 Perception of plain packaging and health warnings Both non-smokers and smokers agreed that tobacco products should come in plain packaging (727% and 629%), that they agree with the proposal (696% and 636%), that current health warnings should be larger (762% and 748%), that plain packaging can decrease tobacco use (565% and 515%), that plain packaging is relevant to the Philippine context (64% and 548%), and that it is possible to adopt plain packaging in the Philippines (696% and 595%)
The fact alone that there is no shortage of export markets should put the countrys grassroots tobacco farmers at quite comfortable ease
Lastly, behavioral techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or engaging in a physical activity, can help distract from tobacco cravings and channel the urge into a healthier habit
Also, immediately after one smokes/chews, it is advisable to rinse their mouth with water or a mouthwash a practice that can wash away the usual stain-inducing agents in tobacco
