'Man finds own amputated leg on cigarette packets without consent'

[Pat Vegas]

2 million fewer smokers than 2011...not saying the graphic images is the cause but it must have helped play some small part in it

rise in vaping and astronmical price increases I reckon.

Anywon want a couple hundred packets of green rizzla?

30g of baccy has for the last few years comes with one of the above, and I use silver. Seems such a waste to chuck 'em out after having to pay 50p each.

Peter, are you out there?

Read thon book Sir C recommended. You'll then consider such imagery light hearted and jolly.

The Wolf and the Watchman? Oh, yes. That's all good fun. I must say, I did laugh when the author first doubled down on the grimness by making the poor chap become the shít-eating sexual plaything of perverted toffs.

No, the average price of a pack being £10.40 and fashion are the main reasons for that. The torture porn is entirely incidental.

I said it wasn't the main reason, but it will certainly have helped along with the other points made...... it isn't classed as cool to smoke, so having pictures of blacked up lungs etc will help reduce it

The biggest group of smokers are 25-34 year-olds. If anti-smoking propaganda worked, none of them would smoke.

No, I'm afraid it is still cool to smoke. I have a daughter and four nieces over 18. All are achingly cool. All smoke. All of them took up smoking in the period when these images were on packets. None of them cares about the pictures because young people don't think they'll ever die and so don't think such things apply to them.

How does that work?
The wokers are smokers?

I have to say that the tendency to to plaster deformity/amputee porn all over cigarette packets is one of the most repellent developments of the last decade or so. When you go somewhere where they don't cover up the fags, you're just confronted with this solid wall of amputations, growths, throat-holes, gangrenous extremities, diseased lungs and rotten teeth. It's fúcking rank.

Much better in the old days when in F1 it was the black and gold JPSs against the red and white Malboro McClarens.

Wish they'd had B&H. With Mayfairs at the back of the field on a shoe string budget.

Sorry? You think it is still cool to smoke? Are we back in the 1970's?

Saying the pictures don't work is absolute *******s imo, if they didn't work they would have canned the idea a long time ago.
