Well, if they're going to do that they should put pictures of rotten teeth on soda bottles. And fast food should have to have pictures of clogged arteries on the wrappers.

I wonder what the hell they can put pictures of hairy palms on!![]()
The new labels will fill the top half - front and back - of each pack of cigarettes sold in the U.S. They will also appear in ads. Cigarette makers must run all nine labels on a rotating basis. They have until the fall of 2012 to comply.
Uruguay has some of the world's strongest warning labels. One shows a person smoking a battery like it's a cigarette to illustrate that both products contain the toxic metal cadmium. In Brazil, labels feature graphic images of dead fetuses, hemorrhaging brains, and gangrenous feet.
They have gory pics on cigarette packs here and I think they're useless, the vast majority of people who are already smoking won't quit because of the pictures, and no-one I know ever started smoking once they could buy packets of them.
If you want to stop people smoking, a good way would be to make each cigarette look like a penis, and put on the boxes "Smoke me, cocksucker", that'd stop a lot of people smoking.![]()

Cigarette warning labels too gory? Wait till you see other countries' - HealthPop - CBS News
They say Canada's smoking rate went down 6% in 10 years after the new labels were introduced.

The lawsuit is probably a smart move for tobacco companies, the AP reported. Several industry experts believe that even if cigarette makers fail to make their case, the resulting delay could push back the launch date for the new labels by a few years.
It probably will slow down the implementation process because theyll ask for an injunction, law professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University told the AP. Its not automatic, but since the court hasnt had a chance to look at all the evidence theyll likely put a hold on things and retain the status quo.
I don't think they'll win, but it will be delayed.

Controversy Over Cigarette Warning... - Google News
Most of my friends who quit in recent years, did so because of the cost. It's almost 10 bucks a pack here in NJ. I have a feeling that's what happened in Canada as well.
Well, I wish that I had heeded the evidence. I finally quit smoking in February this year...when it was too late!
It's never too late. If you quit smoking by your mid 40's you can regain most of your lung function and your cancer risk drops exponentially every year. I think at 5 years it is roughly the same as the non-smoking society.
If you ever find yourself with unexplained weight loss, a persistent cough, a bloody cough, or any of the other symptoms of lung cancer, you should go to your Dr. and get a Chest X-ray immediately.
It was for me GtH. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in February. Turned out to be deep seated and invasive. Until then I wasn't aware that most bladder cancers are due to smoking. Thanks to surgery, I'm now clear and recovering...and could I do with a nice cigar!

What is wrong with smoking?
Why do people have to conform to a standardized social philosophy?
I'm an individual not a sheep. I'm capable of making my own decisions and if I want to smoke I will do it and if I don't I won't.
I don't need dead bodies on my smokes - I find that highly offensive in many ways.
I'm tired of these games.

About 6 bucks a pack here, that's for Marlboro.
I always say, it's a damn good thing I never smoked, because I sure as hell couldn't afford to keep up the habit!
Cigarettes are very expensive!
