    We have that in Canada for a while now, and it doesn't seem to do much.
    People who smoked, still smoke, and the ones that didn't, still don't.

    Even given the "EWWWW" factor, I am a smoker, have been for 30 years....this will not stop my addiction to smoking.
    And, I seriously doubt that it will PREVENT teens from smoking.
    Kind of puts in mind the old PSA ad's of the egg.."this is your brain...{frying egg} this is your brain, on drugs".
    Didn't stop a whole generation to create, and use, even WORSE drugs....

    It can’t hurt anything by putting pictures on packs. If it stops only a few people from smoking or gets a few to stop then its worth it.

    I always thought it was funny
    When the tobacco companies settled with the government
    They agreed to spend money on talking people out of smoking

    AGREED!

    Although this does bring up a question in my mind as to what kind of pics will they put on a chocolate candy addiction.....:biggrin_2554:

    should put warning pics outside of abortion clinics


    o, but abortions are legal

    who suffers more, aborted babies or cigarette smokers?

    what a crock

    There ARE pictures of aborted fetuses in clinics.

    Abortion and cigarettes/cigars/tobacco pipes, are ALL LEGAL in the U.S.

    As for your question of "who suffers more"???
    I would say the smokers....an aborted fetus suffers, yes, I agree.
    But a smoker suffers, in many more ways than you would think....

    Guilt
    Blame
    Health
    Dependence
    etc....
