His cousin, University of Athens Associate Professor Panagiotis Behrakis, who, with Connolly is a co-principal investigator of the Hellenic Action through Research against Tobacco (HEART) project, told SETimes that he's heartened by the decline in the rate of smoking but acknowledged, "It's difficult to evaluate whether it's the pricing or the whole campaign that resulted in Greece."
Njegov rođak, asistent na Sveučilištu u Ateni Panagiotis Behrakis, koji je, zajedno s Connollyem, jedan od glavnih istražitelja projekta Helenske akcije kroz istraživanje protiv duhana (HEART), izjavio je za SETimes kako je ohrabren padom stope pušenja, ali je priznao da je "teško ocijeniti jesu li rezultat dale cijene ili cjelokupna kampanja".
