I hope they make people watch a video of a Gastric Bypass operation before they can order a BK Triple Stacker.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
This is why our troops are dying in Afganistan.
God, we have got to get Ron Paul in office.
I'd think cool cigarette boxes/cases would make a comeback, if I was a smoker, I'd just have a sleek cool case and carry my cigs in that.

Wow....Tobacco Nazi propaganda at it's best Even the EU hasn't gone quite that far yet.

You just MURDERED this woman!

Edit - Afterthought. Well we have the text ''Smoking seriously harms you and others around you'' so I guess we're getting there.

This idea, here in the UK at least, to 'denormalise' smokers really gets my goat and makes me want to 'normalise' snus!

I'm with Tom. Looks like a good reason to buy a nice sterling cigarette case to me. Oh, and the government should fsck off, and stop interfering with free trade.

IN Italy at the beginning people was a little scared by nazy warning, after 2 months every didn't read anymore. So for the pictures. SMoker will use cigarette cases.

Anyway I will never understand because all are against tobacco burned. If smoke is dangerous is dangerous the smoke not the tobacco smoke.
Smoke from any source should be dangerous, also the dry grass burned and first of all car oil burned!

In Europe (and I think also in America) is fine smoke pot (is it that the word? grass,joint?) but not tobacco!!!

But for me now I found snus and snuff! I prefer

Good lord!! It is really odd though, the government pushes everyone to not smoke, but would they really want everyone to quit? How much of the governments revenue comes from cigs and their producers I wonder?

Not to mention people living longer, and driving health care costs UP. They should subsidize cigarettes instead of taxing them....

Yup. Been reading about this for awhile.
The middle east has similar warnings but they are much more gruesome. It's hilarious!

I am still waiting for PROOF that even one person has died as a direct result of second hand smoke. Just one will do. Not this arbitrary "estimated 55,000 a year" BS, I want to see the actual case. Where is it????? Nowhere.
