Anybody got a light?

i'm gonna make a collage out of them.

Good, and as a matter of fact I do have a light. Mind if I bum a smoke? :1orglaugh

I am sure the tobacco companies are loving this :upsidedow

I quit smoking over 10 years ago. This shit would never have made me stop. Maybe it will stop some from starting......

These type of warnings have been on cigarettes in Canada for awhile now and yet it seems to not deter anyone from smoking.

Government Warning!! Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health.

I know this isnt a political thread but this seems like silly regulation. School children are warned about the dangers of smoking so this is not informative at all. Maybe look at regulating the ingredients in the product but this is just turd polishing at its best :2 cents:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its like pokeman for adults... You gotta collect them all !

Gross photos...:(

interesting how alcohol or fast food or soda or candy companies don't have any of these warning labels...

"Warning: drinking high quantities of sugared water regularly causes obesity, diabetes and heart diseases"

Never thought of it like that :1orglaugh

Something similar has been on the packets in the UK for years.

kunnnnnnni

:2 cents: QTF

but can you say lawsuit? http://www.naafaonline.com/dev2/

i guess its in your genetic code maybe. george burns smoked and drank and live a long ass time. cigars he smoked which is worse 100 a century he lived.

These type of warnings have been in Brazil for almost a decade now.

:2 cents:

so fucking stupid. they should put pictures of smashed bodies on cars, diseased livers on alcohol bottles, and so on down the line.

EVERYTHING IS BAD FOR YOU. Just don't abuse shit and you're fine.

I don't think the warnings are graphic enough, to be honest.

Besides, how the fuck can the government state that marijuana should be illegal because it does not pose any health benefits, while cigarettes, which are PROVEN to be addictive, poisonous, and deadly, are allowed to REMAIN legal?!

If the government didin't want people to smoke, they would ban them...

Can we get a warning against the dangers of government?

Philip Morris.

Better late than never.

You should see the ones we have here in Australia!

Ny state has had the disgusting tv ads already for years. The most recent one shows them squeezing all the artery clogging plaque from an aorta. Truly genuinely disgusting and I would vchip those everytime if I knew how.

I quit after my heart attack. You should quit before yours. Nothing else to say really.

If you don't smoke Tarrylton's.... Fuck you!

Fuck the Gov. They have to put their mark on fucking everything.

Like smokers don't already know its bad?

I've got an idea. Lets allow gambling and put all the profits into our failing school system. Then once it passes we'll redirect all the profits to our pet projects.


Oh, wait. Thats what they're doing now. Fucking crooks.

they should put that shit also on meat products, sweets, sodas...

We've had those (and worse) in Thailand for years now. Doesn't work.

Though I have to admit, if they put posters inside every whore house of people dying of AIDS, I would wear a rubber. So I'm not sure why such graphic images doesn't curb smoking.

i got a smoke minute ago

Disgusting. :)

I think its a good idea.... smoking is a nasty habit.. :(

that could be due to many variables

canada has put the breaks on the images now anyways and are going to focus their resources on smuggling instead.

Makes us smoke more to prove them wrong.

Of course, it won't work :1orglaugh

The middle one is more like an advertisement..."this shit's so good you're going to smoke it directly from your fucking throat...want one?"

OMG! They should caption that "YOUR CRYING: DO NOT WANT" or something like that.

Here's what I'd submit for them to use:

If they put "IF YOU SMOKE THIS PACK YOU WILL FUCKING DIE!!" people would still smoke.

we have had warnings like them in the Uk for quite a while now.

This is fucking horse shit... why can't I just buy my occasional cig without being forced to view other's people perceptions, and likely fears of death, down my throat.

What is the number one cause of death? Doesn't matter because it is not from smoking.

Ok here's a stat... 160,000 americans die in a car accident a year. Maybe a big "death in a car" sticker should be put on the inside of the windshield?

Lol... government again intervening on big biz... "big brother"

maybe they can find some new pics on rotten.com also. for car accidents , cigs , guns

Intelligent people dont smoke.

the reason that there will never be serious regulation is because the government makes HELLA money with cigarettes. If everyone would stop tomorrow the taxes would rise like a motherfucker because the hole it would smash in government earnings would be enormous.

Being addicted to nicotine and living in the States is a real problem. So many places you can't smoke.

I kicked the habit 2 years ago and never regretted it. If I go down to the pub I have to wash all my clothes afterwards. They reek of tobacco smoke. :disgust

The Goverment : treating the public like children since 1776

When I was 12 the teacher did like a month of anti-smoking work with us. The ENTIRE class started smoking because of that. I'm not exaggerating, even the nerdy little girls from strict families began smoking.

When the unit ended the teacher said, "Now we're going to do alcohol." The whole class yelled out "Noooo!" So she canceled it. I have a feeling she knew the damage she had done.

Most of us stopped smoking soon after the anti-smoking unit ended. Some of my friends went on to pot and were drug fucked by the time they were 14.
