gruesome images on cigarette packs

[BendBrewer]

That's funny. I can just imagine you go to the store to get some smokes. The guy hands you a pack with a messed up pic on it. You say no not that one. Here's another one. Nope not that one. Here's another one. Nope not that one. Finally something acceptable to you. "Low Birth Weight". Ok I'll take it.

Yeah but I stole it from Bill Hicks. Enjoy Smokers and Non-Smokers alike! It's worth the 8 minutes. One of the funniest stand up bits ever.

"The surgeon general’s warnings are different on the sides of each pack. Mine says, “Surgeon General Warning: Cigarette smoking may Cause fetal injury or premature birth.” Hey, fuck it! Found my brand. Just don’t get the ones that say lung cancer."

DAMMMMNNNN!!!!! that shit look nasty!!!!!!

I quit because I smoked for 5 years and it was getting expensive lol

my hands looked like this

 

[ganjames]

those hands looks glossy and swollen, mine were just the color.
the only thing that make it go away was lifting my hands above my head.. and that worked for maybe 5 seconds.

I thought I would have it forever lol. At least knowing it will come back if I smoke will keep me off the cigs

 

[......]

I had to put this out there to.
I fucking hate people who beg for cigarettes all damn day and never buy a pack.Its the worst/funniest when they come to me with like 50 cent asking to buy one and I deny them lol go buy a fucking loosey.They always try and shove there change in my face like I bought my pack to sell you a bunch of fucking looseys.

I really think cigarette beggers are worse then homeless panhandlers.

Im gonna start telling people a dollar a port.

I'd rather have red hands then lung cancer.

I had a great idea that I'll share with you folks.

Remember back in the day on tour the "Doses - $1" t-shirts? I am going to make up some shirts that say "Smokes - $1" and wear them to events and concerts this summer. Just for fun and to see just how much money a guy can make walking around with a shirt like that. feel free!

seems to have been caused maybe by an increase in blood pressure if it got better by raising your hands over your head, forcing all that blood out by the work of gravity. Do you exercise?

Yeah, I don't lift but I do a lot of cardio.
My doctor thought it was raynauds. Then someone else told me it was from smoking.

I thought it would stay after I quit but luckily it went away. Normal hands are cool!

 

[BendBrewer]

Yeah I really don't care to much about that. Don't really attend things were any violence would happen. People are normally too stoned to fight.

When I quit drinking, it wasn't because I saw some fearmongering PSA depicting a rotted out liver or a teenager splattered all over the dashboard of a crashed car. It was because I got sick of multi day hangovers, having to break up bar fights between my friends, and waking up with no idea how I got home. I still smoke, and if I choose to quit it will be because I arrived at that decision by my own accord. In all honesty, I have come to the point in my life that every time the government tells me not to do something, I have an immediate instinct to go and do it, even if the thought would have never occurred to me previously.

What happened to freedom of choice? What happened to self determinism? I find it patently offensive that the state tries to influence my behavior through guilt, taxes, or other forms of coercion. And just like marijuana prohibition, the false accolade of greater good is being used to enforce somebody's personal will on the pupulace at large.

"I got sick of multi day hangovers"

That's exactly why I quit drinking SO much. Wake up in the morning, stomach hurting because I THOUGHT I ate too much during my SECOND dinner at 1:00am. It was actually too much habanero sauce (I think). I had to look at my plate in the sink to remember what I ate the night before. Look over at the whiskey bottle half gone. Drunk, hazzy feeling until 11:00am. Every fukn night.

Feeling so much better now. After work I vape and chase it with a couple of beers. Wake up in the morning ready to roll.

This post has nothing to do with the subject sorry. Reading "I got sick of multi day hangovers" just hit me. Reminded me of something I don't want to go back to.

Cigarettes:


The only product in the united states that KILLS people when being used as intended.

 

[cannabis420420]

You guys think this will actually prevent people from smoking?I think it could work.

i think it will stop some but not much lol

Yeah I never really was a smoker but I`m about to quit the 4-8 cigs I smoke a day. It got out of hand exam time. Nothing to do with the risk of cancer or blood pressure or this stupid picture on the packet I have of someone undergoing heart surgery. Even though I don`t smoke a lot I`ll list my reasons in order of importance.

1)I want my lung capacity for sport.
2)I don`t want yellow teeth or a constant dry shitty mouth and throat.
3)It costs too much money and its a needless spend which can go on weed or other drugs
4)It smells bad to other people.
5)Its actually a worry, "I need a cig before this" "Fuck wheres my lighter" "Fuck no papers" goes on...
6)Its bad for your heart, circulation etc etc (whatever the packets are saying).

As you can see I don`t give a fuck about the heart problems later in my life, thats on the end of the list. The stuff on the packets mean nothing! It probs even makes it more tempting to smoke but I`m no psychologist. A plain white boring packet with a non-pictoral warning in fairly small letters would be the best choice, agreed with who said that in the thread

Plus save the lungs for the weed!

i used to be in advertising in the 80s. the ad agencies will spin it into something that will STILL sell to billions of people.
that's why they make the big bucks.

I think your #6 should be number1, cig smoke affects heart tissues the most and without your heart, well you cant do much! IMO

It really doesn`t cross my mind that much when I`m taking drugs and drinking booze lol

By the whole heart thing I mean a lot of people get through smoking a lot without heart problems. Example is my grandma, she is STILL smoking and shes 82 years old. Smoking 2 packs since she was 20 and I heard her transfer to 4 packs sometimes, as recent as a year ago... never took a break just smoking away. Her lungs are completely screwed and circulation is very bad to the point where her feet are swelling up and she doesn`t really move much.

Its fair to say the whole heart issue propably will not get into my way but the lung thing will. I love skin diving and can hold my breath up to 3 mins. I would like it to stay that way

I'm addicted to nicotine so i bought a magic flight box, didn't work, so now i'm saving for a vape. I will quit through spending lots fo money!

We've had those types of pictures in the UK for years, doesn't do jackl shit, now they're trying to force cig companies to sell them in plain white boxes with a standard black identifying label because it's the glitz and colour factor that is hooking the young uns

This is what's on my one right now, how is this meant to disuade me? pretty much everything people enjoy in life these days is gonna make you die younger.

There are indeed much much worse, but none fucking work, just intrigue me

that's gruesome? i don't want to live to be 100...
