Njegov rođak, profesor Univerziteta u Atini Panagiotis Behrakis, koji je, uz Connollyja, jedan od glavnih istražitelja u okviru projekta Helenska akcija putem istraživanja protiv duhana (HEART), izjavio je za SETimes da je ohrabren padom postotka pušača, ali je potvrdio: "Teško je ocijeniti da li su rezultate u Grčkoj dale cijene ili cjelokupna ta kampanja."
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."
