U.S. Releases Graphic Images to Deter Smokers
The rate of smoking in America has been cut roughly in half, to about 19 percent, from 42 percent in 1965. Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death, killing 443,000 Americans a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each day, the government says, an estimated 4,000 youths try their first cigarette, and 1,000 a day become regular smokers.
Will such a legislation by our government prevent smokers from continuing to smoke? Probably not for heavy smokers but for the youths of America it may make a difference as in they can see the the result if they continue to smoke. What legislation will be next grafic images on alcholic beverages etc.
Good idea or bad idea as smoking has an impact on the overall health in America. Smoking is such a tough habit to quit, something like this could help.

As much as I detest cigarettes, I agree with Cicny, stay out of their business.
But, this is a big BUT...I can see it being good for MAYBE keeping kids from smoking..

quick questions: are tobacco companies allow to advertise nears schools in the US?
no infact there is vert little advertising for toboco outside the stores them selfs,you'll never see a t.v commiceral for tobaco.

But personally, I'm with you. I'm all for personal responsibility and legalization of all drugs, as long as the facts are out there. Even at 20, I've seen more kids fuck up their lives with alcohol than I have with drugs.
However, I do think those that find themselves addicted should be able to get help. I'm for personal responsibility, but have no problem lending a hand when somebody's fucked up. I guess I think it's better that people get support for their issues, even if they may or may not be partially to blame for getting themselves into those issues. A non addicted society is a productive one, better for everybody.
I certainly don't see the same pressure on alcohol warnings, however...
This is an interesting conundrum for the government. Since they don't want to make it seem like they are owned by big lobbyists like tobacco, they need to do these types of things. But on the other hand, they do not want the money to stop coming in from tobacco. isnt it like a dollar for every pack sold? So my theory, and get your tin foil hats on for this, is that this is something the TOBACCO companies suggested because maybe they did some research and it was found to be less effective than other things that could have been done...
That way the government gets to say...see we care and the tobacco companies don't lose crap loads of money.
Either way, let people smoke if they want to...seriously...are they going to put this kid on every happy meal

I don't see how that would deter any man from drinking...
U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi...
It would stop you from drinking, Cincy?
who cares..I can't stop laughing.
come to think of it I have seen nude beer, naked women on beer can's you had to scratch their cloths off with a coin or something.

Probably make me drink more, with a goal to make her look good.
I'd buy bottles.
yes it matters, many people were saying here that the government should get out of the business hair. getting out of the business hair also means allowing them to advertise anywhere just like any other business.
