Smokers' Warnings















I just received word that the American FDA will be mandating "graphic" photo warnings to appear on cigarette boxes as of Oct 2012. Yes some of these are gross. Well, I have news for you, comrades:

It gets worse.

I've seen this in other countries since 2005, and they are much scarier than that woman simply crying in the center photo. The Aussie gov't doesn't screw around. Since 2006, not only must the pics be truly terrifying and rotated every year, but they must cover 90% of the front of the pack and 30% of the back.

See the horror of Australian cigarette packaging unfold below...















































Now ain't that some shit?
