Smoking

Singapore has decided to combat smoking by putting absolutely horrific photos on their packs of cigarettes. I couldn't find the one on gangrene on the net, but here are some of the ones I saw (and a few I didn't see). These images appear on the top of every pack of cigarettes, before you even know what brand you're looking at, and cover around 1/3 of the pack.




What do you think? Would it gross you out more as a smoker or a non-smoker? I'm pretty grossed out by it and I haven't ever smoked a single cigarette.

Cigarettes in Montreal require similar gross pictures on the packs. Deb had to tape a piece of paper over it to keep from seeing it. :)

I mean, I would never smoke anyway, but if I did, I think I might just throw up every time I needed a cigarette...or else just learn to not look at the pack while taking one out of it.

I do like the idea, though, to be honest. I'm pretty anti-smoking in general.

I just wouldn't want to be the clerk who has to stock the shelves full of that gore every day.
