I'm not a smoker, and don't like smelling like second hand smoke, however, I consider that an issue to be addressed by good manners. This is nuts.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Why don't they show pictures of dead people killed by drunk drivers on bottles containing alcoholic beverages?

Why is this a one-way street?

[talkingpointes]

Oh god, why is it I can hear Nick Nailer defending freedom. Oh that's right becuase they tried this years ago, and now it's come to fruition. Well I smoke rollies anyways but will keep some of these pictures in my wallet to remind me of the dangers of smoking.

[PeacePlan]

Can't wait till they have picture of 500 pound sickly man on my Big Mac

Or they could just use pictures of fat chicks. It would probably be more effective.

or a charred corpse at military recruitment centers.

That will be my last big mac

[sevin]

That'll learn 'em.

[Slutter McGee]

If I remember right, I chose to get to get addicted to smokes.

A dead person on the box is just gonna make me hate the government more which in turn causes me to want to smoke more.

Sincerley,

I am in disbelief that those images are real. I had to go all the way to the FDA site, check the URL, source, etc, before I finally started cracking up...

I will abandon my principles to support this hilarious action by the FDA.

Yeah, this is absolutely hilarious, after thinking about how this isn't a joke... that's when it became abnormally silly.

Screw em , they can put whatever they want on the label , in return for dropping $1 of State tax & $1 in Federal tax .

[specsaregood]

They have had such pictures on canadian cigarettes for over a decade now.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

Can't help but think of Dennis Leary and No Cure for Cancer:


Like the problem is we just haven't noticed yet. Right? Like he's going to get his way and all of the sudden smokers around the world are going to be going, "Yeah, Bill, I've got some cigarettes.. HOLY SHIT! These things are bad for you! Shit, I thought they were good for you! I thought they had Vitamin C in them and stuff!" You fucking dolt! Doesn't matter how big the warnings are. You could have cigarettes that were called the warnings. You could have cigarrettes that come in a black pack, with a skull and a cross bone on the front, called Tumors and smokers would be lined up around the block going, "I can't wait to get my hands on these fucking things! I bet you get a tumor as soon as you light up! Numm Numm Numm Numm Numm" Doesn't matter how big the warnings are or how much they cost. Keep raising the prices, we'll break into your houses to get the fucking cigarettes, ok!? They're a drug, we're addicted, ok!?

Only the beginning of what happens when the government has a financial stake in your health.

[denison]

why don't people just switch to electronic cigs?

[Slutter McGee]

Too healthy.

they could put sleeping people on joints;)

I have a feeling these packs of cigs will become collector items for morbid folks!!

[Jordan]

The FDA hasn't approved them and the Feds are confiscating them when they cross into US borders in transit.

Yeah , I could see that . When I was about 16 some of the guys I drank beer with would have collected those things .

[AGRP]

Does this mean we can mandate all federal buildings and literature to have pictures of causalities from interventionist wars; facts about how corrupt and useless they are?

[dannno]

Well we certainly should.

[denison]

this just proves that the FDA and tobacco companies are in cohoots. As long at the get their cut the damage done is irrelevent. the FDA is worse than the mob. scum. :mad:

This is how certain obsolete government departments force their relevancy.

The government does not mind getting a few dollars per pack in taxes . If most people quit , what is the plan of the evil thieves to replace that revenue ?Because , I guarantee the plan is not cutting spending on wasteful crap .

yep and they can't tax electronic cigs properly, because you can reuse them indefinitely. until they break down.

(prediction) In other news, fashionable cigarette case sales have skyrocketed and attracted new young smokers by the trendy packaging.

I'm friends with a girl who worked on this project. Needless to say, we have had some interesting conversations on this topic. In fact, we will probably have some tonight at a mutual friends birthday party. Any of you want me to pass anything along to her?

I'd be curious to hear - of the Simpson, Winnie the Pooh and Darth Vader cases - which she thinks will sell best after the images are on packages. :D

She's convinced that the crops will get rain and everyone will live a healthy life because of this. Try to talk to her about property rights and all I ever get: "people can still buy them..." FML! My gf is a public health graduate student and all of her friends border on terrorist when it comes to MAKING me live a "healthy lifestyle." Life goes on...

Ask her about targeting white goth kids and lower income gang kids and others who will consider the pictures proof of their living hard persona.

Then ask her what gives government the right to do this.

I think the Mao pic is scarier than any of the others . Go with that. Maybe some 16 year olds would find out who he is . They should use Lenin , Pol Pot etc.
