Canada Proposes Printing Health Warnings on Individual Cigarettes

[Reciprocity]

Big Tobacco isn't gonna like this although I suppose they'll just pass the additional cost on to smokers as they always do

Seems like a waste of money imo because smokers will (maybe) read it once and then light it up. The good thing is that it will cost more to implement the changes and hopefully with the increase of costs to cigarettes it causes more people to quit!

It's good they are still trying to educate the poor smoker ,but when your in the thick of this addiction 

Nothing will work ...unless you want it too...

My Friend used to cover the horrific pictures on packets with brown tape ,so she didn't have to look at them ,

Even asking the woman on the counter to swop the pack for a different picture that she didn't find horrific.

Sadly she died of pancreatic cancer...caused by smoking .

Useless. How many times do smokers read the warning on the pack itself?  Or look at the horrific pictures you find mostly outside the US, as I understand
