 Feds Spend $373,522 to Put Subliminal Cigarette Warnings in Video Games
Posted By Elizabeth Harrington On July 16, 2017 @ 5:00 am In Issues | No Comments

The National Institutes of Health is spending nearly $400,000 testing how to insert subliminal messages against cigarette smoking in video games played by teens.

The University of Connecticut received a grant for the study earlier this year that suggest teenagers are easier targets for anti-cigarette messaging when they are lost in video games.

The first Metal Gear game gave you cigarettes as a tool. You blew smoke to locate laser tripwires. However as you smoked you were losing life.
