Emotional reaction facilitates the brain and behavioural impact of graphic cigarette warning labels in smokers
A brain-imaging study of 24 smokers viewing graphic cigarette warnings. Warnings that produced stronger emotional reactions were better remembered and were associated with a reduced urge to smoke, and produced greater responses in regions including the amygdala, hippocampus, inferior frontal gyrus and insula. This is general information, not medical advice.
