Benefits of technology

According to the present invention, when a user employing the false luxury item having the outer package being the same as or similar to the outer package of the marketed luxury item, while consenting to the fact that the false luxury item is a false one, visually recognizes the outer package, actually touches the same, unwrapping the same to actually drink the solution being not alcohol, or tries to light up a tobacco, these actions serve as stimuli inducing the conditional reflex at an early stage, however, by repeating actions of not drinking or smoking after these actions, the conditional reflex appeared at an early stage is gradually reduced and, at a final stage, no desire for alcohol or tobacco occurs, whereby abstention from smoking and / or drinking can be promoted.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a fear that excessive intake thereof caused by too much drinking of alcohol and / or by too much smoking harms human health.
Repeated intake of alcohol and nicotine causes an uncontrollable desire for these substances and priority to be given to actions to seek after them, which produces a problem of dependence in which, unless there is the intake of these substances, uncomfortable mental and somatic symptoms may occur.

first embodiment

In the first embodiment, an example of the false luxury item is described in the case where a marketed luxury item is a tobacco. As shown in FIG. 1, one case of the tobacco 15 is provided with a trademark or other package design on an outer package portion 16 so that the article is discriminated and a user wishing to smoke the tobacco 15 can get the tobacco 15 from a specific tobacco vending machine or a shop by visually recognizing the outer package portion 16.

The false tobacco 10 being the false luxury tobacco of the first embodiment has the outer package portion 14 with apparently almost the same package design as that of the marketed tobacco 15, however, the false tobacco 10 contains false tobaccos 13 in a scattered state being only apparently the same as the content of the real marketed tobacco 15.

The comparison in structure between the false tobacco 10 and the actually marketed tobacco 15 shows that the package design is common between the outer package portion 14 making up an...

second embodiment

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the example is described where a marketed luxury item and its false luxury item are bottled beer. As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of ordinarily marketed bottled beer 25, a label 28 with wording of “BEER” is stuck on a side portion slightly near to its bottom side of the bottle and its content of the bottled beer 25 is beer 26 adjusted to have a specific alcohol content and the bottle is sealed with a crown cap on the neck of the bottle. The outer package portion of the marketed bottled beer 25 is the bottle itself having the label 28 and crown cap 27.

Incidentally, the false bottled beer 20 being the false luxury item of the present embodiment has an outer package portion with an appearance being almost the same as that of the outer package portion of the ordinarily marketed bottled beer 25 having the label 28, crown 27, and the bottle itself, its label 23, and its crown 22 of the false bottled beer 20 are the same of those of the ma...

third embodiment

In the third embodiment of the present invention, the example is described where a marketed luxury item and its false luxury item are canned low-malt beer. As shown in FIG. 4, the ordinarily marketed canned low-malt beer 35 has a printing surface 38 with wording “SPARKING WINE” on its side surface and its content of the canned low-malt beer 35 is sparking wine 36 adjusted to have a specific alcohol content and the can is sealed with a pull tab 37 on the upper surface of the can. The outer package portion of the marketed canned low-malt beer 35 is the outer package portion of the can including the printing surface 38.

Incidentally, the false canned low-malt beer 30 being the false luxury item of the present embodiment is sealed with a pull tab 32 and is provided with an outer package portion having an appearance being almost the same as the can itself that has the specific printing surface 38 of the marketed canned low-malt beer 35 and the can itself having the specific printing surfa...

Abstract

The false luxury item 10 of the present invention is characterized by having an outer package portion 14 being the same as or similar to an outer package portion 16 of a marketed luxury item 15 including a tobacco or an alcohol beverage such as beer and the outer package portion 14 has a false content 13 being different from that of the marketed luxury item 15 or a content being the same as the content of the marketed luxury item 15 in such a state not allowing the intake. A user repeats one set of actions that the user recognizes the false luxury item and pretends to drink alcohol either halfway or entirely, but actually does not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco and, as a result, conditional reflexes appeared at an early stage are reduced gradually and a desire for alcohol or tobacco does not occur finally, whereby abstention from alcohol and / or tobacco can be promoted.

Description

Repeated intake of alcohol and nicotine causes an uncontrollable desire for these substances and priority to be given to actions to seek after them, which produces a problem of dependence in which, unless there is the intake of these substances, uncomfortable mental and somatic symptoms may occur.For example, in the case of smoking, most of...
