What’s The Deal With Warning Labels?

[saltedplug]

I'll give you that the antis are disgusting and that by far they annoy current smokers more than they cause anyone to quit.

But advertising works. Like it or not the pictures and print get into the brain with even one viewing, not to mention saturation advertising with multiple views.

What are antis?

Never mind I guess its fairly obvious, though I'd never seen anti-smokers abbreviated this way.
By the way, how do I edit my damn post? lol

I wish we could get more of the labels that have pictures of surgery and mouth cancer on them. I want a few of those on tshirts and bumper stickers.

My 3 personal favourites:

"Mummy, why does my pacifier taste funny?"


"A Clockwork Orange eyeball"


And without doubt my favourite is this (drumroll please). Ladies and gentlemen I give you... "The Impotent man."

It's almost as if I can hear the warning label speaking to the guy in the picture:

"See? That's what you get for smoking. Your dick doesn't work, does it? I bet you're sorry now? It's no use looking at it, that won't help. Shouldn't have smoked those cigarettes should you? It's Viagra for you now my boy."

Really love that cig holder I’ll have to try that.

why is the impotent man smelling another guy’s hand?

Canada instituted the nasty pictures on cig packs a couple decades ago. I remember most people joking about them, everyone wanted the hot pregnant girl as opposed to the nasty teeth gum disease, throat cancer closeup, or blacklung autopsy.

Um, I've got some "limited edition" tins for sale that have US warning labels on them. Only 4x the price of replacement tins without the labels?
