In 1973 a R.J. Reynolds executive was quoted as saying:
"It should be said that we are presently, and I believe unfairly, constrained from directly promoting cigarettes to the youth market. If our company is to survive and prosper, over the long term we must get our share of the youth market. - Thus we need new brands designed to be particularly attractive to the young smoker, while ideally at the same time appealing to all smokers. Perhaps these questions may be best approached by consideration of factors influencing pre-smokers to try smoking, learn to smoke, and become confirmed smokers."
Delyth Lloyd of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) in Wales added;
"The ban will be an historic milestone for the health of the nation. Not only will it be good news for non-smokers, who will be protected from second hand smoke, but it represents the perfect time for smokers across Wales to attempt to give up for good."
