Got home today and found the package of tobacco I ordered from England in my mailbox. They had some interesting "tin art." I knew that the "smoking kills" stickers on the front would be there, but wasn't expecting the dead guy and the syringe. :D

I have exactly the same tins by my chair Keeper and with SG if i'm careful I can peel the top sticker off no problem the ones are out of sight anyway.These stickers piss me off and can ruin the look of a good tin.At least with SG I can get rid of the damn things.

:puffpipe: Wow those lables really work. I'm ready to toss all my pipes into the compactor, and drop off all my cellar contents at the hazardous materials disposal site. I'm so glad some one was looking out for me so I was saved in time....before I was really hurt. As my teenage daughter would say, "Ya right what ever......" :rofl:

This is what they do in Egypt, and what I saw in Turkey. It doesn't stop anyone. Of all things, the Turkish store owner who showed me these thought it was funny.

UPDATE!!
I've been working with the ATF, FDA, and even congress, and they've agreed to use this label for pipe tobacco instead. This is a rough sketch, but they've already agreed.

more municipal masturbation....just more of the obsession this society has with longevity and the fear of dying.
I bet these same people likely go to the grocery stores and get their apples, fruit and heartily go home and chomp away at it. But if you took an apple and then sprayed it with a can of Raid and then wiped it off and handed it to them, they would not eat it, but that's exactly what they do to the apples anyway, spraying much more dangerous pesticides and then bringing them back for more processing including bleaching, etc, to make them pretty and long lasting on the shelves. Or..we could get into the contaminated water supplies and the dangerous effects of chlorine on it, and the drugs present in our water from everyone flushing their pills down the toilet....I could go on for days.
But exercise KILLS too, for instance take the NY Triathalon recently where 3 people died from over-working their bodies...non-smokers, ate all the right foods, spending all their spare time exercising instead of with their families. So now we need more signs and warning labels on all exercise equipment.
People will never learn that....NOTHING MATTERS

We live in a toxic world, and are basically fragile and misdirected bags of water. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die....

There are quite a few different pics here, the 'Smoking causes impotence' with a pic of a drooping cigarette makes me laugh. Another shows a man with a huge growth on his throat. Why not collect the full set lol.

so true hobie

i know that now, with the FDA in charge of tobacco, they are planning on making cigarette companies here do the same thing, using warning labels with dead people, rotten lungs, cancerous mouths and so forth. the larger tobacco companies and cigarette manufacturers here are fighting it as a first amendment issue. it is wrong to force someone to essentially say: here is my product. i made it and offer it to you, but i have to tell you that you should not actually try or use my product
