Have you ever read a sign like that before? I'm sure you have. If you are a smoker, just read the inscription outside the pack. They come in all different types of warning. Some would state, General Surgeon Warning: Smoking Kills or Smoking may cause cancer and most commonly Smoking is dangerous to your health. The billboards also has those warning signs posted. Have you ever wondered what they are for? Do people who buy cigarettes ever even read them? Much more believe they are of importance? What's the purpose of those warning signs when the rest of the smoking world doesn't even care what it says? Seriously, does it serve any purpose? Clearly if they wanted to stop a person from smoking, they should have a much more emphatic campaign. Now, let's start the ball rolling and see what most people think about it.

I know the first thing that your going to say is you need to quite smoking. Yes I know all the hazards of smoking, the trouble is I have been smoking for so long that it is really hard for me to quite. In fact when I first started the only warning label that was on a pack was smoking MAY BE dangerous to your health. It wasn't until years later that they started putting smoking IS dangerous to your health or that it will cause cancer on the pack. What a lot of people don't understand when they start smoking is that it's very hard to quite once you have been smoking for a while. This is a habit that I wish that I would have never picked up and wouldn't wish it on anyone.
