    In Europe packs are required to have medical photos of their long term effects on the front (black lungs, people hooked up to machines while getting cancer treatment looking like death, that sort of thing). I kinda like that it’s displayed prominently in that case. I have no clue if it works, but over all I think there are less smokers now in general, at least in my personal experience. So it might? Who knows…

      No, we just laughed at them and tried to collect all of them. The only reason most of us quit is education and knowing it will kill you.

        Don’t assume it’s the same for everyone as it was for you. I would bet there is at least some noticeable percentage that quit because of this, or at least helped by this, but if that’s 4% or 25%, I haven’t the faintest.

          I agree, but everyone knows who smokes they will get lung cancer and don’t care about it. Maybe they care when they get it, but that’s kinda it.

          It’s hard to quit and you wont feel the same for months, which is more than likely the biggest problem.
