I think we’ve learned that when it comes to drugs nothing is a deterrent.
That’s a pretty good drawing. I could see this framed like an Andy Warhol Campbell soup thing.
would work for 4channers
Ok but when you say “work” do you mean they’d stop smoking or smoke more, because one of those things is a social good.
Rick has the right idea. Anything short of death is not a deterrent.
Everyone wants to be knocked out. Nobody wants to be dead.
Honest question: in Europe do pouches of rolling tobacco receive a similar treatment?
I don’t smoke anymore, but I kind of want a pouch of Bali-Shag with some body horror images on it.
Make all drugs legal and create government monopolies to maximize tax revenue.
I don’t smoke, but I would strongly consider buying one of these just because of the depiction lol
This makes me want to take up smoking again.
Except… Marlboros. Yuck.
Oh, I wasn’t going to smoke them. I would buy one for the novelty lol
Buy the box, refill it with Camels.
I quit smoking decades ago; now I’m just waiting until, statistically, something else is going to kill me before cancer will if I take up the habit again.
This would encourage smoking amongst younger meme savvy people I think.
Looks like an ad
Reminds me of Whitest kid you know. NickODick
I think the older people are too addicted to give a shit and younger people would just find it amusing.
I don’t know how effective it has been, but the UK goes out of their way to make the packaging look really shit.
Standardised packaging with distasteful colouring, bland fonts, health warnings. I hope they do the same with vapes (although disposable vapes are being banned so that’s cool).
Canada’s warnings are even more extreme.
Embed photo!
Yeah Aus defs had some of this calibre too.
UK ones are like that too. They’re not all the same picture as above, they show some pretty gnarly stuff. I’m pretty sure I’ve even seen a stillborn foetus.
Holy shit
Australia has very similar plain packaging.
When I used to smoke it became a game among my friends to collect certain packs with certain warnings on them.
Other people I knew used to transfer their cigarettes into metal cases or something else.
Looks badass, honestly. Maybe I’ll pick up smoking in the UK…
The problem is, every pack looks the same, so if you’re out with mates you gotta really keep an eye on your smokes or put some identifying mark on them
Just find some mineral based paint and everyone picks a color, dip your smokes and the best part is you can coordinate your outfits
Check out my Etsy store, we sell of kinds of cigarette pack cozies.
Bring a little individuality into your smoke breaks.
Looks like I forgot the /s on this one…
It’s also pretty expensive in the UK. I think it was like twice as expensive compared to Estonia when I visited several years ago.
Also, the Onion’s classic “New ad tells teens it’s gay to smoke.”
14 years! All of those old news segments from that era are absolute classics.
So that is the reason I bought myself vape recently. Siwwy me :3
