Will graphic images on packets get you to quit smoking?

It won't make a blind bit of difference. For every offence - there's a defence.

The defence here is to:
1) Minimise your exposure to the warnings
2) Adopt the normal "It only happens to other people"
3) Get slowed used to the images to the point they are a curiousity rather than a frightener.

Take violence in movies as an example of the last point. It takes a lot more agreesion in the violence to have the same theatrical impact on an audience that it would have 50 years ago.

Waste of time. Outlaw the f'n things.

Great idea.

Can you give up one of your fingers please in return? Sounds fair to me.

I'll give smokers the finger any day...

edit - actually I take that back. I do realise smoking is something a lot of people get into for a variety of reasonably innocent reasons. I also know nicotine isn't something you just turn your back on... but... I'm also a fan of short term pain fro long term gain.

Get the withdrawls done, and out of the way then everyone starts to enjoy life and save money again... no?

How long does it take for you to smoke a $10,000 bike DD?

smokeing is stupid! nothing good can come from it... All of the pros which suckers (smokes smoke the person sucks) say there are just seem to be the lazy way out.. Harden up and face reality

those pictures arent so unlikely imho.

Go to any cancer ward and see the smokers puffing away outside with the thing that has likely caused it in the first place.....

all the while denying everything.

i cant stand the smell of fish on women....
