I think we've learned that when it comes to drugs nothing is a deterrent.

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

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.

That’s a pretty good drawing. I could see this framed like an Andy Warhol Campbell soup thing.

Make all drugs legal and create government monopolies to maximize tax revenue.

Looks like an ad

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.

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.

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
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
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.
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.
