Here in Canada they have been putting these pictures on packages for years, have a look at all of them... http://www.smoke-free.ca/warnings/Canada-warnings.htm

Thank you for the link SS. Do you think they really have an impact on smokers or do they just ignore them and puff away?

btw...nice to hear from you. It's been awhile. Hope you are doing ok these days.

They are totally ignored, but as a smoker they do sort of stick in your head however like a kid when someone tells you not to do something it just makes you want to do it more.  So I can't say as a kid if it would turn me off more or on.  I just wish I never started .

 

Yes it's been a while and I'm doing OK, thanks

I wish I had not ever started either. I smoked at a young age off and on, then more as I got older. At one time I (chain) smoked up to four packs a day. I finally quit some years ago by more or less 'weaning' myself. I used a snuffer and really tried to practice self-control. It lasted five years and then I began again. Did it for a year and ahalf that time and have had more control since. Unfortunately, the damage was done and now I at high risk for COPD. That is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It entails chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Ironic that I used to joke about how ''eveyone chooses thier own poisin" and "I'll probably go by lung disease". Not so funny now.

Glad to hear you are doing ok. I have sometimes wondered how your injuries were from the time you had the accident getting out of bed months ago.
