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

Even if that's true, this does nothing to stop smoking.

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

when I stopped I started to notice the breath of those who smoked

if every smoker could smell that on themselves, they'd fúcking stop.

Two years now since I stopped.

I quite fancy taking it up again. I miss not having the comforting weight of my Zippo in my pocket, and having an excuse to pop out inot the fresh air from time to time.

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

How does that work?
The wokers are smokers?

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

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.
