DAY: Wednesday SESSION: #7 DATE: April 27, 1977 CLIENT: Tom TIME: 1:30 - 3:00 LEADERS: Jon/George

SESSION P.A.G. (Problem As Given): How to better estimate future enviornment for tobacco industry and B&W growth (trends, directions, major events rather than numbers).

G/W's IDEA

1. How have a cigarette that's cancer free. 2. How live w/ growing concern about health issue. 3. How get into non-tobacco cigarette products. 4. How smoke something that burns and won't hurt you. 5. Wish I didn't have to predict, but rather schedule the breakthroughs. 6. H2 measure intimacy practices. 8. How look at evolution of how people's needs are satisfied (survival of fittest cig.) 9. How chemically develop cig benefits for state of mind. 10. Measure trends in music as a way of determining what fan's products will be. 11. Get people who can foretell the future to work w/ us. 12. Wish we weren't just in tobacco/cig products. 13. Look into products, non-tobacco, that give similar satisfactions. 14. Legalization of marijuana. 15. Wish I knew the impact of smoking and health propaganda on kids in schools -- future customers' attitudes. 16. Corrolate smoking incidence between kids and parents. 17. Psychological analysis, predictions: who's going to be kids' heroes 18. A six months report of heroes of beginning age smokers (Do it every six months). 19. How measure attitudes of "2nd grade" teachers. 20. How measure attitudes of smoking parents towards their children smoking (ditto for non-smoking parents). 21. Wish we had a "radar" early warning system that trips before major breakthrughs occur. 22. Cultural study through time (Smoking just one facet in overall picture). 23. How look at history of stimulants (What used before/inplace of tobacco) or opposite of stimulants. 24. Look at image that children have, later in 20's -- is ther a correlation. 25. Look at images of children and images of starting smoking age -- are there certain characteristics that pre-dispose a child to smoke. 26. Is there a pilot lab somewhere that really percieves U.S. behavior patterns.

SESSION P.A.G. (Problem As Given): Measure the intensity fo the attitudes of children or other precursor groups.

WAYS WE MIGHT GO ABOUT GETTING THESE ATTITUDES

IDEAS

1. Contact leading firms in terms of children research, e.g., Gilbert/Reilley 2. Look back at history for underlying trends, e.g., look at fads and see if come up again. 3. Contact Sesame Street. 4. Get a raft of 15 year olds who are not smoking -- excessive amount of questions -- go back 3 or 4 years later and see who is smoking. 5. Contact Gerber, Schwill, Mattel. 6. Find a way to speed up lives vs. hypnosis -- tape 10 years olds to see if he is smoking. 7. Run a series starting at 6. What the trend. Learn correlation between ages 6 and 18. 8. Take people who are smoking hypnosis and find out what like 3...years back. 9. Look at 13, 14 year olds and images of what they want to be. 10. Take a group of 6,10,14 year olds. Four years later see if can predict. Predict age group behavior based on previous responses. 11. Check follow-up studies of state and national gov't education on smoking. 12. Do previous 11 steps on how much they will smoke. 13. Find relationship between health issues and health problems and forecase cures problems. 14. Determine why these young people were not becoming smokers. 15. Measurement of nicotine intake in children to correlate with brand preferences and projected ideal formulation for that age group.

NEXT STEPS:

1. Study this list - rank most feasible to the least. Tom: by the end of May. 2. Pick two or three most do-able and work with those.

CULTURAL STUDY OF BEHAVIOR/FEELING MODIFYING CHEMICALS - TRENDS WHERE GOING

What Things To Look At:

1. Consumption of Coca-Cola and coffee. 2. Liquor industry and trend toward light, non-color beverages.. 3. [illegible] 4. Check for correlation between emotional climate to stimulant used. 5. Look at emotional climates (climatic) in U.S. re #4. 6. Measure growth of "Mormons." 7. Measure attitudes within gov't re: smoking....etc. 8. Look at countries that are further along in the cigarette cycle, e.g., Scandanavian. 9. Does the human need a certain quantity of drugs and he gets it in some form. 10. Look at smoking habits and places where they have a monopoly. 11. Look at smoking habits and places where they have a monopoly. 12. Look at stress -- what are the emotional factors at work in various countries. 13. See if you can measure the number of smoking opportunities/day. 14. Measure the differences in smoking habits in places where smoking freedom has been restricted (e.g, Calif., Minn.)
