This is a trend started by Thailand and Philippines is also using it. Disturbing pictures were printed on the cigarette boxes to discourage smokers from smoking. What are those grossgusting pictures? Well there are different varieties of them. There is picture of the lungs of a person who died from lung cancer.There is a picture of a very sickly man dying of lung diseases, A sickly baby born from a smoke belching mother, rotting feet of someone who smokes a lot and many more putrid images to give you nightmares. People are still smoking and buying cigars even though nightmare inducing images are printed on cigarette boxes, people still buy cigars.

Yep! You are correct. They think that they are exempted on those kinds of diseases.

and they will only realize it is too late when they already got infected by the problems. A lot of people seemed to think they were invisible.

@jstory07 Exactly, but that's what happens when you lead a cherry life where nothing bad happens.

The best to do is to jack up the price for them not to afford to buy it.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Singapore do not sell those onto minors. I think the law in selling those must adjust, must be stricter.

No pictures or health warnings would make them stop. But the moment they're admitted to the ICU and told they're having a serious disease due to smoking, they'll quit right away.

@sishy7 Why do people have to wait for vomiting blood before they decide to quit.

It's been done for some years here and I really am not too sure how much it has discouraged smoking if at all...

They don't mind those pictures. They really want to smoke. Nothing can stop them.

Heck even people who already have cancer still smoke. They will rather die than give up smoking.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Yup, you're right. Their reason is, they will die anyway, so why stop smoking.

It is really annoying that many people wants to smoke even in public places ??????. Secondhand smoking is more dangerous for the people. They don't smoke but they are the one who will suffer the most.

I kno the damage of second hand smoke because I use to work in an office where everyone fills the airconditioners with Nicotine.

You are right. I think the smokers are just so addicted to the smoking and nothing can stop them. Even if smoking increases the price, it still will not stop the smokers to quit smoking.

IT is the same with my father..My father still smokes even though he coughs in habit. My mother always nags about it. He all have talked to our father about that but he just doesn't stop smoking and the brand that he uses has gross pictures on the label.

It is like an open secret they ignore even though it is the truth. The warning of what will happen in the future is right in front of them but they prefer to ignore it.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Yes, whenever we talk about it, my father would just change the topic of conversation or would go else where.
