When are we going to put pictures of livers on pint glasses? Or pictures of hearts on McDonalds boxes? What a huge pile of crap... who the fuck came up with that shite?
And for the record, they have them here and they're easily ignored since they're on the back of the pack
I just don't get the idea to be honest.

Viagra?
Booze?
Lingerie?
could make shopping more entertaining at the outset...Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

That's good, cuz I can only begin to imagine what they would put on condom packs!Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,

I'll take back that I would want the heart on food, because food is needed to live, but alcohol and tobacco are two things we can live without. Kids should see what they are getting into and how it can affect their lives. I'm guessing it will have a small affect, but its better than nothing.
And yes I drink and a picture of a liver would not stop me. But it wouldn't bother me that it was on there.
Unhealthy food is hardly needed to live... in fact, don't they say the oppositeand alcohol should not be lived without... tobacco can if you never start. Stop people from starting. Make buying cigarettes illegal for those who never smoked... those who smoke can apply for a card entitling them to buy cigarettes! And slowly phase them out as smokers drop off.

Are you saying that the pictures disgust you and make you want to stop smoking? Because thats what they're supposed to do. I'd rather look at a picture of grotesque lungs then actually have them.
And I'm not trying to be mean spirited if that's what it sounds like. Reasonable minds can differ.

) and it won't force them to do anything. However it means that nobody can start.. that can only be a good thing. Alcohol and unhealthy food have their purposes... they're guilty pleasures
nuff said. If you've never smoked, a cigarette is certainly NOT a guilty pleasure.

My sister works retail and she laughs whenever someone asks for a pack of cigarettes "...but not the ones with the gross teeth on the front." hahahaha.
They're put there to show you that that's what your teeth/heart/lungs will probably look like by the time you die. It may not stop YOU from smoking, but it might cause someone else to think about quitting.<a href="http://www.last.fm/user/Krisdababe/?chartstyle=Krisdababe"><img src="http://imagegen.last.fm/Krisdababe/recenttracks/Krisdababe.gif" border="0" /></a>

Food and alcohol are good for you. Cigarettes are not.I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0 -
It's pretty dumb. Does anyone still exist unaware of the dangers of smoking? They are choosing to harm themselves, which is their decision. They should be allowed to do it without looking at rotting organs. They have enough to worry about, what with their own rotting organs etc...
Also as Helen says, there's no pictures of dying livers and bust pancreases on beer bottles etc and I'm in MUCH more danger of dying from alcohol intake than cigarettes, since I drink a lot more than I smoke. Why is no one watching MY back? :("I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"0 -

I think it is aimed at the 12-14 year old dumbasses who really do have no idea what smoking actually does to you but want to start because it looks cool. Sure they know that it can kill you, but not until you are old. I remember when I used to work with kids, and there were little kid smokers who were around the age I mentioned who thought that if you smoked that you would be fine until you are old.0 -
