Philip Morris Brands Sàrl, Philip Morris Products S.A.
and Abal Hermanos S.A.
Claimants, v. Oriental Republic of Uruguay
Respondent. ICSID Case No. ARB/10/7
REPORT ON THE RELEVANCE, VALIDITY, AND SUFFICIENCY OF THE
EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE CITED BY THE URUGUAYAN GOVERNMENT IN
SUPPORT OF THE SINGLE PRESENTATION REGULATION AND THE
80% GRAPHIC HEALTH WARNING REGULATION ALEXANDER CHERNEV Ph.D.
February 28, 2014

A. SUMMARY OF ISSUES AND OPINION
1. My name is Alexander Chernev and I reside in Evanston, Illinois, U.S.A. I am a
Professor of Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, U.S.A.
My academic background and profile are described below in Section B and my curriculum vitae
is attached as Appendix 1.
2. I have been retained by counsel to Philip Morris International Management, S.A., and its
affiliates Philip Morris Brand Sàrl (Switzerland), Philip Morris Products S.A. (Switzerland) and
Abal Hermanos S.A. (Uruguay) (collectively “Philip Morris”) to provide an expert opinion on
the evidence cited by the Oriental Republic of Uruguay in support of the single presentation
regulation of Ordinance 514 (the “single presentation regulation”) and the 80% health warning
regulation of Presidential Decree 287/009 (the “80/80 regulation”). Specifically, I have been
requested to provide my opinion with respect to the following issue:
Does the research cited in Uruguay’s Memorial on Jurisdiction justify a conclusion that
the single presentation regulation and the 80/80 regulation will contribute to decreasing
tobacco consumption in Uruguay by discouraging nonsmokers from taking up smoking
and/or encouraging smokers to give up smoking.
3. My conclusions in this report are based on my research, analysis, and review of the
following resources:
• Sixty-nine sources cited in the Uruguay’s Memorial on Jurisdiction (Reichler et al.
2011) and made available to me by counsel, comprising legal, economic, medical,
public policy, regulatory, media, and internal company documents as well as
research articles summarizing prior findings and/or presenting original empirical
evidence.
3
• Nineteen research papers referenced in the above sources. A list of these papers
is attached as Appendix 3.
• Journal articles, books, and academic literature on consumer psychology and
decision-making, research methodology, and marketing strategy.
4. With respect to the single presentation regulation, I have concluded that the empirical
evidence reviewed in this report does not provide relevant, valid, and sufficient evidence that
prohibiting cigarette manufacturers from marketing more than one variant under a single brand
family will reduce tobacco consumption in Uruguay. As discussed at more length in the Detailed
Analysis section below, the government does not cite any studies that show that eliminating
variants will reduce tobacco consumption. Specifically, studies referenced in the Memorial do
not address issues relevant to the single presentation regulation. Indeed, even though a handful of
studies report data potentially relating the color of cigarette packs to consumers’ beliefs about the
relative harmfulness of cigarettes, none of these studies examine whether consumers in Uruguay
continued to associate particular colors with particular descriptors even after these descriptors
were removed from cigarette packs. This is important, because a key goal of the single
presentation regulation was to address consumers’ lingering associations between certain colors
and product descriptors, rather than to restrict the use of a specific color.
5. With respect to the 80/80 regulation, I have concluded that the empirical evidence
reviewed in this report does not provide relevant, valid, and sufficient evidence that increasing
the size of health warning labels from 50% to 80% of the principal surfaces of tobacco packages
will reduce tobacco consumption in Uruguay. As discussed at length in the Detailed Analysis
section below, the government does not cite any studies that show that increasing the size of
graphic health warnings from 50% to 80% of the front and back surfaces of cigarette packages
will change actual tobacco consumption.
4
6. It is, therefore, my conclusion that the research cited by Uruguay, considered individually
and as a whole, does not justify the conclusion that the single presentation regulation and the
80/80 regulation will contribute to reducing tobacco consumption by discouraging nonsmokers
from taking up smoking and/or by encouraging existing smokers to give up smoking.
B. ACADEMIC BACKGROUND AND PROFILE
7. My academic title is Professor of Marketing (with tenure) at the Kellogg School of
Management, Northwestern University, U.S.A., one of the world's leading business schools,
which for the past several decades has been consistently ranked as the best marketing program
worldwide (U.S. News & World Report 2013). I received my Ph.D. in Business Administration
with emphasis in marketing from Duke University in 1997. I also hold a second Ph.D. in
Psychology from Sofia University, which I received in 1990.
8. I have published numerous articles in top peer-reviewed research journals in the domain
of marketing and psychology, including Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing
Research, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Social Cognition,
and Journal of Consumer Psychology. A survey published in the Journal of Marketing ranked
me among the top ten most prolific scholars in the leading marketing journals during 1982–2006.
My research has been featured in a number of business and academic publications, including
Scientific American, New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Business
Week, US News & World Report, Chicago Tribune, and Los Angeles Times. I have given more
than 100 presentations at research seminars, professional workshops, and academic conferences.
9. I currently serve as an area editor for the Journal of Marketing, and I am a member of the
editorial board of six leading marketing journals: Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of
Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Psychology, International Journal of Research in
5
Marketing, Journal of Academy of Marketing Science, and Marketing Letters. As a member of
the editorial board, I have twice received the Outstanding Reviewer award from the Journal of
Consumer Research. In addition to serving on editorial boards, I have refereed for more than 20
journals and professional organizations. I have organized and chaired numerous conferences,
symposia, and special sessions for the Association for Consumer Research, the American
Marketing Association, and the Society for Consumer Psychology.
10. I have more than 15 years of experience teaching various graduate, post-graduate, and
executive programs. I have taught marketing management and marketing strategy in MBA and
executive education programs at the Kellogg School of Management, at INSEAD
(France/Singapore), and at IMD (Switzerland). I have also taught a Ph.D. seminar in
experimental design and consumer decision behavior at the Kellogg School of Management.
11. My opinion is based on the currently available information. I reserve the right to
supplement, amend, or revise my opinions and conclusions should additional information
become available to me over the course of these proceedings.
C. DETAILED ANALYSIS
1. EVALUATION CRITERIA AND MATERIAL REVIEWED
12. To evaluate the potential impact of the single presentation regulation and the 80/80
regulation on tobacco consumption in Uruguay, I first examined the available evidence based on
(1) whether it presents empirical data, that is, data originating in or based on observation or
experimentation, and (2) whether it reports sufficient level of detail to validate the claims made
in the paper. Accordingly, I excluded papers that did not report empirical data as well as papers
6
summarizing specific findings without offering a description of the underlying methodology in
sufficient detail (e.g., review papers).
13. I examined the empirical evidence on the basis of three criteria: relevance, validity, and
sufficiency.
• Relevance refers to whether a paper reports empirical evidence relevant to
assessing whether the regulations will contribute to reducing tobacco
consumption in Uruguay, by discouraging nonsmokers from taking up smoking
and/or encouraging smokers to give up smoking.
• Validity refers to whether the reported empirical evidence provides a
methodologically sound basis for assessing whether that the regulations will
contribute to reducing tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
• Sufficiency refers to whether the empirical evidence reported by the papers,
considered individually and as a whole, provides a sufficient basis for concluding
that the regulations will contribute to reducing tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
14. Using the above criteria, I evaluated the 69 sources cited in Uruguay’s Memorial (labeled
R1 through R69). Forty-five of these sources do not present original empirical evidence and
were excluded from further analysis. Specifically, those paper included seven legal documents,1
eight reports presenting factual data about cigarette packaging formats in different countries,2
and 30 miscellaneous economic, medical, public policy, regulatory, media, and internal company
documents that do not present empirical evidence related to the potential of the regulations to
reduce tobacco consumption in Uruguay.3 Accordingly, the focus of this report is on the
1 R3-R5, R47, R52, R59, and R60. 2 R42, R50, R53, R64, R65, and R67–R69 3 R1, R2, R6, R7, R9, R11, R15, R19, R20, R24, R26–R28, R31, R35–R38, R41, R44, R45, R46, R48, R49, R51, R54–R56, R58, and R66
7
remaining 24 sources, of which 11 are cited in support of the single presentation regulation and
16 are cited in support of the 80/80 regulation.4
15. I also examined a number of sources that were not directly cited in the Memorial but
were referenced by some of the 69 papers cited in the Memorial. In this way, I identified 19
additional papers: three papers potentially relevant to evaluating the evidence for the single
presentation regulation, and 17 papers potentially relevant to evaluating the evidence for the
80/80 regulation.5
16. The reminder of this report examines the relevance, validity, and sufficiency of the 24
empirical papers directly cited in the Memorial and the 19 additional papers referenced in the
sources cited in the Memorial.
2. THE SINGLE PRESENTATION REGULATION
(a) Uruguay’s Rationale for Single Presentation Regulation
17. The single presentation regulation prohibits the sale of more than one variant per
cigarette brand. According to Uruguay, the justification for this prohibition is “to protect public
health by prohibiting marketing practices that induce the false belief that certain versions of the
same brand of cigarettes are less harmful to human health than others” (Respondent’s Memorial
on Jurisdiction; para. 24).
18. Uruguay argues that consumers believe that cigarettes sold in gold, silver, and blue
packages are less harmful to human health than other cigarettes. Furthermore, Uruguay argues
that consumers hold these beliefs because they associate these colors with specific descriptors,
such as “light,” “ultralight,” and “mild,” that were banned in 2005 in Presidential Decree
171/005. According to Uruguay, consumers believed that cigarettes sold in packages labeled 4 Three of the sources (R14, R32, and R62) were cited in support of both the single presentation and 80/80 regulations. 5 One of the sources (A7) is potentially relevant to evaluating both the single presentation and 80/80 regulations.

with such descriptors were less harmful to human health than other cigarettes, and this belief
encouraged smokers “to switch to a supposedly less harmful product rather than quit smoking
altogether” and induced nonsmokers “to take up the habit, on the belief that they were engaging
in less harmful behavior” (para. 24).
19. More important, Uruguay argues that “the product descriptor (e.g., ‘light’) became
strongly identified in consumer consciousness with a particular color (e.g., ‘gold’)” (para. 24),
such that consumers in Uruguay “continue to associate gold and silver colored cigarette sub-
brands with the false health benefits of the former ‘light’ brands, which they have been misled
into believing are safer” (para. 28). Thus, Uruguay maintains, there remains a “widespread
belief that gold-packaged cigarettes are ‘light’ cigarettes, and those sold in silver packages are
‘ultra light,’ and that either of these is safer to smoke than cigarettes of the same brand packaged
in red or other darker colors” (para. 27).
20. Based on this line of reasoning, Uruguay concluded that “limiting each brand of
cigarettes to a single presentation—rather than a proliferation of different-colored sub-brands
associated in consumer consciousness with false health benefits—would offer greater protection
to public health, by reducing the risk that consumers will be misled into continuing or beginning
to smoke based on the false belief that one version of the same brand of cigarettes is less harmful
than another” (para. 28).
(b) Analysis of Uruguay’s Evidence in Support of the Single Presentation Regulation
21. To justify the effectiveness of the single presentation regulation, Uruguayan government
cites 11 papers.6 In addition, the sources cited in the Uruguayan Memorial reference another
three potentially relevant papers.7 Ten of these 14 papers do not report original empirical
6 R12-R14, R16, R18, R32, R39, R40, R43, R61, and R62. Three of these sources—R14, R32, and R61—are also cited in support of the 80/80 regulation. 7 A1, A7, and A12

evidence and, instead, merely review prior research.8 Furthermore, two of the papers presenting
original empirical evidence do not involve colors that were associated with banned product
descriptors and/or do not examine the relationship between the color of the brand/packaging and
the belief that some cigarettes can be less harmful than others.9 Only two of the cited papers—
Hammond, et al. (2009; R40) and Mutti et al. (2011; R62)—report empirical evidence that could
be construed as potentially relevant to evaluating the impact of the single presentation regulation
on tobacco consumption in Uruguay. I discuss the relevance, validity, and sufficiency of these
two studies in more detail below.
1. Relevance
22. None of the empirical studies purports to attribute the false belief that some cigarettes are
less harmful than others to the mere existence of variants. Instead, the studies focus on the
relationship between pack design elements (such as colors and descriptors) and individuals’
impressions about the relative harmfulness of different cigarettes. However, this is not the
rationale underlying the single presentation regulation, which bans variants but does not restrict
the use of colors or descriptors.
23. A key concern with both papers is that the experimental designs employed are not
appropriate for testing the impact of the single presentation regulation. Specifically, the first
paper (Hammond et al. 2009; R40) aims to examine the relationships between brand color and
consumer perceptions of tar content, health risk, smooth taste, brand attractiveness, and quit/trial
likelihood. It reports that “compared with Marlboro packs with a red logo, Marlboro packs with
a gold logo were rated as lower health risk by 53% and easier to quit by 31% of adult smokers.”
However, this paper does not present evidence that consumers associate gold-colored Marlboro
with certain health benefits because they think it is identical to Marlboro Lights and, accordingly, 8 R12-R14, R16, R32, R43, R61, A1, A7, and A12. 9 R18 and R39.
10
rely on latent beliefs about the meaning of a descriptor (‘light’) that is no longer present. In fact,
the authors attribute the observed effect of color on consumer perceptions of risk to the fact that
different colors are inherently associated with different levels of health risk, whereby darker
colors are more likely to be associated with health risk compared to lighter colors. This is a
different rationale than the one underlying the single presentation regulation, which does not
restrict the use of any particular color, and is rather focused on minimizing the possibility of
carry-over memory effects, whereby consumers continue to link certain colors with the false
beliefs associated with certain product descriptors (e.g., mild), even after these descriptors are no
longer present.
24. The second paper (Mutti et al. 2011; R62) is based on a telephone survey conducted
among adult smokers in Canada, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. It
reports that self-reported smokers of ‘gold’, ‘silver’, ‘blue’ and ‘purple’ brands were more likely
to believe that their own brand might be less harmful than smokers of ‘red’ and ‘black’ brands.
A key concern with this study is that it does not present direct evidence that the reported
difference in respondents’ beliefs about the potential harm of their usual cigarette brand is caused
by a difference in the package colors. In fact, the effect of color on consumer beliefs that certain
brands are less harmful than others is not explicitly tested in this paper. Respondents were asked
“which of the following, if any, helps to indicate whether a cigarette brand could be less harmful
compared to others: (i) the taste/harshness of the smoke, (ii) words such as ‘light’ or ‘mild’ or
(iii) words such as ‘smooth’ or ‘ultra’?” but were not asked whether the brand/package color can
serve as an indicator of potential health risk. Accordingly, this study does not provide evidence
for a causal relationship between the reported difference in respondents’ beliefs about the
potential harm of their usual cigarette brand and the difference in package colors.
11
2. Validity
25. A common threat to the validity of the data reported in all three papers is likelihood of a
demand effect, which reflects respondents’ tendency to guess the purpose of the experiment and
answer accordingly (Malhotra 2007; Cialdini 2008; Webb et al. 1999). The demand effect can
be a significant determinant of participants’ responses that can overshadow the effect of the
factors that the experiment aims to investigate. Research has shown that the demand effect is
particularly likely to occur when participants are made aware of the goals of the study (Hyman
1992) and/or in the presence of established social norms implying the socially-desirable answer
(the demand effect in the latter case is often referred to as social desirability bias; Fisher 1993).
“The experimental situation is one which takes place within the context of an explicit agreement
of the subject to participate in a special form of social interaction known as ‘taking part in an
experiment,” writes Orne. “Within the context of our culture the roles of subject and
experimenter are well understood and carry with them well-defined mutual role expectations.
[…] We might well expect then that as far as the subject is able, he will behave in an
experimental context in a manner designed to play the role of a ‘good subject’ or, in other words,
to validate the experimental hypothesis” (1962; p. 777).
26. The demand effect is a fundamental threat to the validity of the data furnished by
Hammond et al. (2009; R40) and Mutti et al. (2011; R62) because of the respondents’ awareness
of the goals of the study, the study’s affiliation with a tobacco-control agenda, and the existence
of prominent social norms reflecting a strong sentiment against smoking (Gutman 2011;
Hammond et al. 2006). The potential for demand effects is an important concern that casts doubt
on the validity of the findings reported in these papers. I discuss the sufficiency issues in these
papers in more detail below.
12
3. Sufficiency
27. These three studies also fail to provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the single
presentation regulation will reduce smoking. The sufficiency of the empirical data is a function
of three factors: (a) behavioral impact, that is, whether these data establish that the single
presentation regulation will decrease tobacco consumption (as opposed to influencing only
perceptions, memory, beliefs and intentions, and/or influencing brand switching rather than the
total consumption across all brands); (b) consistency, that is, whether the data are in agreement
with (as opposed to showing no effect or contradicting) the proposition that the single
presentation regulation will reduce tobacco consumption, and (c) effectiveness, that is, whether
restricting brands to a single variant is an effective means for reducing tobacco consumption
relative to the alternative approaches, such as the introduction of graphic warnings. I address
these three factors in more detail below.
28. Behavioral impact. A key concern with the two empirical papers (Hammond et al. 2009;
R40 and Mutti et al. 2011; R62) is that they focus on people’s perceptions, memory, beliefs, and
intentions rather than on their actual behavior. This raises the question of whether any of the
reported results will translate to changes in respondents’ actual behavior. Indeed, there is a
substantial body of research documenting that perceptions, memory, beliefs, and intentions are
poorly correlated with individuals’ actual behavior (Sheeran 2002; Norman, Sheeran, and Orbell
2003; Sheeran and Abraham 2003). This research further shows that the inconsistency between
individuals’ perceptions, memory, beliefs, and intentions on one hand, and their actual behavior
on the other, is likely to be more pronounced in the case of self-gratifying behaviors, such as
food and alcohol consumption (Zhou et al. 2009; Swanson, Swanson, and Greenwald 2001;
Ronis, Yates, and Kirscht 1989). The absence of a strong correlation between behavioral
intentions and actual behavior has been also documented with respect to smoking, whereby
13
researchers have argued that intentions are not particularly good indicators of their future
smoking behavior (Mazanov and Byrne 2007). In this context, studying perceptions, memory,
beliefs, and intentions, while informative, is by itself insufficient to predict a change in
individuals’ actual smoking behavior.
29. Consistency. The argument that the single presentation regulation will contribute to
reducing tobacco consumption in Uruguay is further undermined by the fact that one of the two
studies reports data that do not support this thesis. Specifically, Mutti et al. (2011; R62) reports
“no significant differences between color descriptors and the belief that ‘some brands could be
less harmful’” (p. 1173)—a finding that is inconsistent with the thesis that consumers associate
colors with particular health benefits, which, in turn, is the key motivation for introducing the
single presentation regulation.
30. Effectiveness. In addition to not being able to document an association between the color
of the cigarette pack and specific health benefits stemming from its prior association with a
particular product descriptor, none of the studies discuss whether restricting brands to a single
variant is an effective means for reducing tobacco consumption, compared to the alternative
approaches that do not involve eliminating brand variants. Moreover, none of the studies
examines the marginal impact of restricting brand variants on tobacco consumption in context of
the already implemented tobacco control measures. For example, it is possible that the
introduction of graphic warnings is in itself sufficient to eliminate any potential associations
between the specific colors and the belief that some brands are safer than others.
14
3. THE 80/80 REGULATION
(a) Uruguay’s Rationale for 80/80 Regulation
31. The 80/80 regulation increased the size of the mandated graphic health warnings on
cigarette packages from 50% to 80% of the front and back surfaces. The rationale for this
regulation is the claim that 80% warnings are more effective than 50% warnings in decreasing
tobacco consumption in Uruguay. This rationale is based on the assumption that “bigger is
better” (Respondent’s Memorial on Jurisdiction; para. 32), whereby increasing the size of health
warnings should always lead to a significant decrease in tobacco consumption.
(b) Analysis of Uruguay’s Evidence in Support of the 80/80 Regulation
32. In its Memorial on Jurisdiction, Uruguay cites 16 sources in support of the 80/80
regulation.10 These papers, in turn, reference another 17 related to health warnings,11 for a total
of 33 papers. Ten of these 33 papers, however, do not report original empirical evidence and,
instead, merely review prior research.12 Accordingly, these papers do not provide empirical
support for the thesis that the 80/80 regulation will decrease tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
33. In this section, I evaluate the data reported in the remaining 23 papers with respect to
their ability to document that the 80/80 regulation will reduce tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
Specifically, I outline the key issues pertaining to the relevance (i.e., whether a paper reports
empirical evidence relevant to assessing whether the 80/80 regulation will contribute to reducing
tobacco consumption in Uruguay), validity (i.e., whether the reported empirical evidence is
methodologically sound), and sufficiency (i.e., whether the empirical evidence provides the
10 R8, R10, R14, R17, R21-23, R25, R29, R30, R32-34, R57, R61, and R63. Three of these sources—R14, R32, and R61—are also cited in support of the single presentation regulation. 11 A2-A11 and A13-A19. See Appendix 2 for a complete list of these additional papers designated with an A. 12 R10, R14, R29, R32, R34, R57, R61, R63, A7, and A19
15
necessary basis to conclude that the 80/80 regulation will lead to a decrease in tobacco
consumption in Uruguay) of the data reported in these papers.
1. Relevance
34. All but seven of the 23 papers presenting original empirical evidence are not relevant to
evaluating the 80/80 regulation because the experimental design employed in these papers does
not allow evaluating the potential effects of increasing the size of health warning labels from
50% to 80%. Specifically, some of these papers do not examine the effect of increasing the size
of the warning labels;13 others confound the effects of increasing the size of health warning
labels with other factors, such as the addition of pictures to health warnings;14 and some
investigate the effects of an increase in size of the health warning labels within a range that is
substantively different from the 50% to 80% increase mandated by the 80/80 regulation.15
Accordingly, these papers do not lend empirical support to the thesis that the 80/80 regulation
will decrease tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
35. The remaining seven papers (A2, A8, A14, A15, A16, A17, and A18) present original
empirical evidence that is potentially relevant to evaluating the claim that 80% warnings are
more effective than 50% warnings to reduce tobacco consumption. Below, I summarize the key
issues pertaining to the validity and sufficiency of the data reported in these papers.
2. Validity
36. A common threat to the validity of the data reported in all seven papers is likelihood of a
demand effect, which reflects respondents’ tendency to guess the purpose of the experiment and
answer accordingly (see para. 25 above). The existence of a demand effect in these studies is
particularly likely because of respondents’ awareness of the goals of the study, the study’s
affiliation with a tobacco-control agenda, and the existence of prominent social norms reflecting 13 R21, R23, A9-A11, and A13. 14 R17, R22, R30, R33, and A4. 15 R8, R17, R22, R25, R30, R33, and A3-A6. For example, the first paper, Liefeld (1999; R8), examines the impact of increasing the size of a warning from 35% to 50%.
16
a strong sentiment against smoking. In fact, on several occasions the authors explicitly
acknowledge the possibility that the reported findings might have been influenced by a demand
effect. In this context, the potential for demand effects is an important concern that cast the
results of the studies into doubt.
3. Sufficiency
37. The sufficiency of the empirical data is determined by three key factors: (a) behavioral
impact, that is, whether these data establish that the 80/80 regulation will reduce tobacco
consumption (as opposed to influencing only perceptions, memory, beliefs and intentions, and/or
influencing brand switching rather than the total consumption across all brands), (b) consistency,
that is, whether the data are in agreement with (as opposed to showing no effect or contradicting)
the proposition that the 80/80 regulation will reduce tobacco consumption, and (c) effectiveness,
that is, whether increasing the size of the health warning labels is an effective means for reducing
smoking, compared to the alternative approaches, such as the introduction of graphic warnings. I
address these three factors in turn below.
38. Behavioral impact. A key concern with the data reported in all seven studies is that they
fail to establish that the 80% warning will actually reduce smoking, either by causing smokers to
quit or by discouraging nonsmokers from initiating. Indeed, the outcome measures used in these
studies either focus on non-behavioral factors such as perceptions, memory, beliefs (A14-A17),
and intentions (A2, A14-A18), or examine relative brand preferences that represent brand
switching rather than the tobacco consumption across all brands (A2, A18). The fact that none
of these papers measures the impact of increasing the size of health warning labels on actual
smoking behavior is an important limitation that dramatically reduces the ability of these studies
to support the 80/80 regulation.
17
39. Consistency. A second key aspect of the sufficiency of the empirical data is the degree to
which these data agree with (as opposed to showing no effect or contradicting) the proposition
that increasing the size of the warning to 80% will reduce smoking. Despite the fact that most of
the papers aim to show the benefits of regulating cigarette packaging, the data reported in these
papers are mixed, with some of the findings suggesting that increasing the size of the health
warning labels above 50% might be associated with an increase in tobacco consumption.
40. For example, the data from Les Études de Marché Créatec (2008a, 2008b; A14, A15)—
studies frequently referenced in support of larger health warnings—show that increasing the size
of health warning labels from 50% to 75% did not have a meaningful impact on most of the key
outcome measures. The authors of these two studies conclude that “considering all effectiveness
indicators, [graphic health warnings] with increased size option B (75%) were unlikely to remain
more effective over a number of years than with the current scenario A (50%)”—a pattern
observed across all (adult and youth) respondents (p. 5).
41. The findings of Les Études de Marché Créatec (2008a, 2008b; A14, A15) are echoed in
the data reported by Germain, et al. (2010; A8), who report no significant differences between
plain packs with 30% and 80% health warnings on three of the four measures, including smoker
characteristics, cigarette characteristics, and health message recall. The only measure on which
the pack design had a significant effect was the attractiveness of the pack design itself, which is
not surprising given that the pack was specifically designed to be unattractive. Likewise,
research by Liefeld (1999; R8) suggests that graphic health warnings that occupy 50% of the
face of the cigarette pack are likely to be sufficient to encourage smokers to stop smoking and
non-smokers not to start smoking (p. 27).
42. In addition to the data suggesting that increasing the size of the warning labels might
have no impact on tobacco consumption, the data in the studies referenced by Uruguayan
18
government do not rule out the possibility that increasing the size of warning labels might be
associated with an increase in tobacco consumption. Thus, Shanahan and Elliot (2009; R33) find
that the awareness of health warnings on the front and the side of the pack has significantly
decreased in 2008 compared to 2000, despite the increase in the size of the health warnings and
the use of graphic warning messages (pp. 4-5). The data from this survey further show that, after
the introduction of the new regulations, smokers reported consuming greater quantities of higher-
nicotine cigarettes, with fewer smokers changing their smoking patterns.
43. Effectiveness. A third key aspect of the sufficiency of the empirical data is the relative
effectiveness of increasing the size of health warning labels compared to the alternative measures,
such as introducing graphic warnings. Documenting the impact of increasing the size of health
warning labels over and above that of the alternative measures is particularly important because
some of these measures—such as graphic warnings—had already been implemented in Uruguay
prior to the 80/80 regulation.
44. The data reported by a number of the studies listed in Appendixes 2 and 3 suggest that
increasing the size of the health warnings may, in fact, be a relatively ineffective means for
decreasing tobacco consumption. Thus, the study by Liefeld (1999; R8) reports that the size of
the warning label had a relatively weak effect on encouraging people to stop/not start smoking,
with a relative importance of only 12%, compared to 51% for the message content and 29% for
the presence of a picture (p. ii). This study further reports that, “Pictures with warning messages
were, on average, 60 times more encouraging to stop/not start smoking than messages without
pictures,” (p. ii), which implies that adding pictures to health warning labels might be
sufficient—even without increasing their size—to reduce tobacco consumption.
45. In the same vein, the studies conducted by the Environics Research Group (2008a,
2008b; A16, A17)—sources frequently referenced in the Memorial in support of the thesis that
19
increasing the size of health warning labels will decrease tobacco consumption—show that
respondents did not consider increasing the size of health warning messages to be among the
most effective strategies for convincing smokers to quit. When asked to name alternative
options for reducing smoking prevalence, only 11% of the adult respondents and 19% of the
youth respondents identified increasing the size of the warning label as an effective means for
reducing smoking prevalence. Similarly, when asked to rank order the effectiveness of four
potential ways to improve health warnings, respondents indicated that they believed increasing
the size of the warning labels to be the least effective way to improve health-warning labels,
compared to all of the alternative options, including using new or different pictures, using new or
different messages in the text, and making the words in the text more closely reflect the pictures.
These data suggest that increasing the size of the warning labels is a relatively ineffective way to
improve health warning labels and that increasing the size of the warning labels might not have a
marginal impact over and above the introduction of graphic health warnings.
D. CONCLUSION
46. This report addresses the question of whether the research cited by Uruguayan
government sources, considered individually and as a whole, provides a relevant, valid, and
sufficient empirical basis to conclude that the single presentation regulation and the 80/80
regulation will contribute to decreasing tobacco consumption by discouraging nonsmokers from
taking up smoking and/or encouraging smokers to give up smoking.
47. Based on the empirical evidence cited in Uruguayan government sources (listed in
Appendix 2) and an additional 19 papers referenced in these sources (listed in Appendix 3), my
conclusions are as follows:
20
• With respect to the single presentation regulation, the empirical evidence
reviewed in this report does not provide relevant, valid, and sufficient evidence
that prohibiting cigarette manufacturers from marketing more than one variant
under a single brand name will decrease tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
• With respect to the 80/80 regulation, the empirical evidence reviewed in this
report does not provide relevant, valid, and sufficient evidence that increasing the
size of health warning labels from 50% to 80% of the front and back of cigarette
packages will decrease tobacco consumption in Uruguay.
48. It is, therefore, my conclusion that the research cited in Uruguayan government sources,
considered individually and as a whole, does not provide a relevant, valid, and sufficient
empirical basis to conclude that the single presentation regulation and the 80/80 regulation will
contribute to decreasing tobacco consumption by discouraging nonsmokers from taking up
smoking and/or encouraging smokers to give up smoking.
