Aim To examine the effects of tobacco control television advertisements with positive and negative emotional content on adult smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption. Design Analysis of monthly cross-sectional surveys using generalised additive models. Setting England. Participants 60 000 adults aged 18 years or over living in England and interviewed in the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey from 2004 to 2010. Measurements Current smoking status, daily cigarette consumption, tobacco control gross rating points (GRPs-a measure of per capita advertising exposure), cigarette costliness, concurrent tobacco control policies, sociodemographic variables. Results After adjusting for cigarette costliness, other tobacco control policies and individual characteristics, we found that a 400-point increase in positive emotive GRPs was associated with 7% lower odds of smoking (odds ratio (OR) 0.93, 95% CI 0.87 to 0.98) 1 month later and a similar increase in negative emotive GRPs was significantly associated with 4% lower odds of smoking (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.92 to 0.999) 2 months later. An increase in negative emotive GRPs from 0 to 400 was also associated with a significant 3.3% (95% CI 1.1 to 5.6) decrease in average cigarette consumption. There was no evidence that the association between positive emotive GRPs and the outcomes differed depending on the intensity of negative emotive GRPs (and vice versa). Conclusions This is the first study to explore the effects of campaigns with different types of emotive content on adult smoking prevalence and consumption. It suggests that both types of campaign (positive and negative) are effective in reducing smoking prevalence, whereas consumption among smokers was only affected by campaigns evoking negative emotions.

Thirteen young men completed a ten-week exercise training program on bicycle ergometers. Training sessions were conducted five days per week, with eight men randomly assigned to low-effort (LE) and five to high-effort (HE) regimens. LE participants worked continuously at 50% of their maximal oxygen intake (exercise HR congruent to 135 BPM); HE participants performed two minutes alternating work-rest intervals at 80% of their maximal oxygen intake (exercise HR congruent to 170 BPM). Total work done was held constant for the two groups. LE and HE participants increased maximal oxygen intake (P < .01), but there was no difference in changes between the two groups. LE exercise training programs are more comfortable for participants and perhaps should be recommended over HE programs for most individuals, since improvements in physical fitness appear to be comparable.
