They don't seem to realize that the packaging has nothing to do with WHY people start smoking - and even less to do with why they continue to smoke when they know it's deadly. Anyone who thought that smoking was good for you, raise your hand!

Hand up here! Had no idea that smoking was bad for me. Wow those pictures sure will save a lot of children. 
Hypocrites! They make big taxes from cigs AND cancer - they lie about the ecig and anything the gubment does has an evil agenda behind it. When you break down the word government it means Control the Mind. They're very good at it, they've created an illusion most call reality, but it's no where close to being real. Canada has had these pix on cigs for years and they were one of the first to ban eCigs.
Bring on the Lucie.

I'm a vaper now, so BT and BP and BG can go get the taxes they need to support their crap, from someone other than ME!
Jeezzzzzz!!!! That would scare the poop out of me to see that on my pack of cigs!!! If I had continued to smoke, I would probably start gift wrapping them or something!!
Sorry Clover, didn't read thread initially as we already have them, and I think they are grosser than the FDA ones.

Personally I believe in positive re-inforcement. There's a saying" energy flows where attention goes". Umm, basically if you believe something is going to happen, it is more likely to happen.
The greatest advertising tobacco companies ever did was the surgeon general's warning. It increased sales.... as will this!
when the 10:00 news did this story the warned the images they were about to show may be disturbing to children.
i talked with the guy that owns the convince store down the road and he said they are already making shelves that only show the sides of the packs.
If they only show the sides of the packs Gregg Perrelli sir then it just makes them even more taboo.... This is a great marketing campaign. 
the side is where the brand is "camel menthol light" is they will only show the brand. just like now we see the front and the warning is on the side
I have always found it funny how the tactics employed by hate groups anti-smokers have come down to bullying, peer pressure and ostracism.
You know, all the things we were told as children were used by bad people making you do something you shouldn't do!

In Australia they tried the graphic warning pictures & messages. Now they are proposing 'plain packaging'. 'World first' plain cigarette packaging
so keeping the pictures but making all packs the same so that brand image is taken out of the equation. They are also not permitted to display cigarettes, packs are kept in closed cupboards.
Like I care?

WARNING FOUL LANGUAGE AHEAD!!!
I put that because it is about time these scumbags finally decided to put a damn label on these things that speak the effin truth! I am sick of hearing "Oh a pack a day wont hurt" Or my favorite one of ALL ....EN TIME "Oh its lights, they wont harm me as reguar cigs do" BULL....! Lights do the same exact thing as regulars Here is what I want to show you all.
The List of Additives in Cigarettes - Additives in Cigarettes
it is all in lights, regulars, 100's shorts fats everything. So you saying "Oh a light wont hurt me" Stop fooling yourself... It is about time the damn FDA took their heads out of their assses, and stopped relying on cigarette money to run ..... This is getting rediclous with the government we have.
If they want to make money, (Which they make from US working OUR asses off) then start making an "FDA" approved quit smoking item. People unlike me see FDA and jump, me I say "Ha does it give me cancer? Or does it give me an illness?"

Those would have been incentive to me and my friends when we were young. The whole point was rebellion and self destruction, graphic images of death would have been a 'collect them all' type thing.
