That'll stop me from doing it!

dear god... that's brutal

"And remember, smoking is BAD!"
Are you an educational tape or something?

That Looks Diss-Gusting!

Is That a Real Outcome to Smoking? A sort of "growth" development under your throat?

I feel Sorry for Stampler...I hear He puts aways more Coffee and Cigarettes than everyone on the Newgrounds Staff.

Take Care Dude!

BTW...Since Smoking is suppose to help Relief Stress...Mens Health dot Com explains how a deficiency in Vitamin C can increase your stress.

So a good substitute for smoking is to try a cup of Juice, prefeerably something with Vitamin C. Or you can try an Ice Water with a wedge of Lemon.

Personally...to achieve that "Menthol" effect...I just drink Iced Water with "one" drop of "peppermint" oil.

Peppermint has Natural amounts of "Menthol" and it has "NO" cancerous effects.

In Fact...Acording to Wikipeida...Peppermint has plenty of Health Benefits if taken in "small" amounts.

Take Care Dude!

I'm sorry Jim...but I find that awesome. I'm not a smoker myself but that's a really crazy ass idea.

that being said...I really don't think shock photos should be plastered around. Clearly a smoker knows by now (hopefully) that smoking isn't safe for you. They don't need to see pictures from obscure medical journals as proof.

In Canada we have pictures that try to ward off people too. I think those pictures are purely to scare the youngsters away. I highly doubt the adults aren't aware that smoking is bad for you.

Though nothing, and I mean NOTHING is that brutal here in Canada in regards to pics. Dear lord, I can't look away!

Here in Canada we already have those brutal pictures on cigarette boxes but they're nothing compared to that! Yes, we do have dissected brain, heavily contaminated lungs, an old guy coughing, and some other stuff but that picture up there is seriously brutal.

I think that they're going to do/continue this to cigarette containers, they should as well gross out and ruin the days of drinkers and heavy junk food because those will kill you as well, hell, maybe they should just put labels on scissors, knifes, guns and anything else that can potential kill you if you really try hard.

But at the same time we would just shooting ourselves in the foot as chances are; those who smoke, most likely drink as well (I). What I'm trying to get at' is that: We already know smoking is bad, they don't need to remind us every so minutes or hours when we decided to take a break, pull out a pack and have a smoke.

And the other (bull shit) rules I'm fine with as I know they will never actually work or be followed. P.S. You're awesome, not sure why but you seem like a pretty chill guy. Just thought I would throw that out there.

eww, Thank god for me not smoking, I'm not planning to in the future either.

Yeah, they have graphic pictures on packets in Australia already, as well as on TV, but there was a huge blunder that the government made in that the people in the photos weren't smokers, just models wearing gore makeup, so the images lost all their power. I'm not a smoker, and I hate looking at the images, but for smokers, if you're already a smoker, it won't deter you, but yeah, it probably might give youngsters a second guess. I turned 18 about a month ago, and I can tell you that because of all of the negative campaigning, I've not once been tempted to buy the death sticks.

Welcome to the American way.

i feel you pain i am a smoker too i regret ever starting

they alread got the stuf here in Australia
it was 16!?
bloody hell!
when did they change that law?
the teenagers will always find a way to get a hand on these ciggs

on another note I saw a person that could place a ciggerette in his ear and puff smoke out his mouth

sorry lil but i think Australia kind of beat england and stuff.
we've had disgusting images of diseased people for over 15 years my mum said.....

i am never ever somking
period

ugh

I can't see the point why people like smoking. The smell is awful, everyone knows it only fucks your lungs, people stay away from you...

Why do you smoke? Why can't you just stop?

That's a good pic, smoking's bad for you, right?

Oh... well ok. Well, I see this doesn't effect Bahamut or Coop83, but IT DOES EFFECT Odyssic as he is 16!

I would like to say smoking is a personal issue and the government shouldn't get involved but I can't bring myself to say that since we know smoking is harmful and it kills us slowly. I know people who smoke and I know others who have died of it. Smoking is stupid thing that intelligent people need to stop doing.

Pfft...I think there is a small 'nanny state' problem, but no where near to the level that the Media has decided to blow it up to, smoking is something that affects people around you whether they choose it or not, its not like eating unhealthily or something...
Like it or not the government is only trying to help, theres not really any of this sinister 1984-esque system described in the daily mail etc.

And I'm not so sure about your theory of repackaging, the picture system has already been used to great effect in other countries. Its not like its a test subject....

Dude everyone knows you smoke to look like that, that spoiling end- game.

I don't mind these smoking rules.

What gets me is the people who drink lots of alcohol. The ones who think they're better than smokers. I gave up alcohol a year ago and not had a drop since. I've come to hate drunks. When a drunk is a threat in a pub they should leave. My smoking harms people in enclosed areas, I'll leave the establishment. When a psychopath who has had too many harms people in enclosed areas, the leave the establishment.

Gory images aren't going to stop people smoking. Some but not all. A pack already saying I'll have a permanent limpy didn't stop me.

Lol Liljim shouted at me

:3

I Had idea wade had one of those on his neck.

It all seems a bit patronising. We know the risks of smoking, as we do with drinking and eating poorly. Maybe it could scare off potential young smokers, but for adults and regulars, it's up to them to quit. A nasty image can't break such an addictive habit.

Dear God. That last picture...

Just disgusting. Put that on a package of anything and I'll be miles away. No kidding. That tumorous growth is kinda gross, too, but Jesus. That guy needs to shave.

Honestly? Tobacco is just part of human nature. I mean look, the USA was founded on that.
I have no problems with smokers. It is there choice, and pretty much as long as your over 18 and respect my wishes to not be around smoke in smoke free places, I'll respect someone right to smoke around designated smoking areas.

Only thing that irks me, is when professionals who deal with health care smoke. My mother has a dental hyg. that smokes. And every week, she takes a smoke break, then comes back in to clean patients teeth and begings to educate them on the importance of dental care.

That's like a robber telling people not to steal but taking your wallet at the same time.

I guess they're trying the whole shock tactics thing, like they did with seatbelts in cars (who'll ever forget the kid killing his mother by flying into the back of her seat at 40mph?) and speeding ("Hit me at 40, and there's an 80% chance I'll die...")

It's bound to be enough for a good few to want to quit...

awesome- im in the uk so im glad this is happening. smoking sucks. i don know why the government just doesnt ban it alltogether. my only problm is that when i go to the shop to buy milk or bread or wateva i dont want that shoved in my face.

Before I even start, I'm going to say that I agree - smoking is a very good thing.

However, I AM a smoker, and as such, this really irritates me....

The UK Government (and most constituent countries in that Government) have passed a number of awesome laws in the UK over the past few years, all of which I agree with. To clarify as to what's already been done, in no particular order:

1. lowered the age of those eligible to buy cigarettes from 16 to 6.
2. allowed smoking in the working area.
3. allowed smoking in pubs, restaurants, and other public places, which have a roof and so many walls (whether stones, sticks, or glass.)
4. provoked warning messages on cigarette packages.

What REALLY gets my dick are the plans for provoking the new images on the packages of cigarette packs, which will roll out in 10/10/08, and here's why.....

1. Anyone 6+ in the UK can vote in elections, so they can nominate which party is to be in Government.
2. If they're eligible to vote a Government into power, do they really need to be put through some of this crap (below)?

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah .

New problem... sex/fucking.

The top image has nothing to do with anything. Bottom is one I just threw in to make you guys feal sick.

Well there's a new Smoker's Lounge in the C&C.
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/9 77217

We have similar warnings in Canada, mainly dirty brown teeth that says "Smoking causes mouth disease" or a couple of kids with brackets "You're hurting us too".

Kind of pointless too now that store owners aren't even allowed to advertise on power walls or humidors. It's a real pain when I'm out of town looking for a new pouch of tobacco to try out. There's a smoke shop in my town that boarded the windows and doesn't let minors in, that way the customer can browse around and check the stock.

I remember seeing a movie called Thank You For Smoking.This picture brings it to a whole new level.awsome!

http://www2.b3ta.com/host/creative/44 577/1223414787/tampaxwarnings.jpg

If smoking makes a huge scrotum grow under your chin and have nasty beard, then I won't do it again. EVER.

They do that picture thing here. It's awesome.

i never want to smoke anyway, but i wouldnt buy any just to not look at that!

Wow, that picture looks nasty, kinda something you would see off a shock site.

I've already seen those images, AND worse ones, in an email I got 3 months ago.
Those are the reasons why I find smoking useless and dangerous, also you waste a lot of money in it.

Unfortunately nicotine is powerful as fuck and it will keep you addicted into them, like if you feel you needed to smoke to keep you alive or something :/

holy shit! that guy looks fugly, i am SO never gonna smoke now!

is that real? it looks like hamburger slapped on his chin

i hate smoking

UGLY =/

You should start going to a NHS Stop-smoking group.

Smoking is fine as long as you don't force others to inhale it. My dad smokes and I'm fine with it; he smokes outside the house and I'm not forced to smell it, but when people smoke in the street and I have to walk behind them, that pisses me off.

Propagana!!!
Smoking does not kill!
GOD DOES!!!

that's horrible

Quitting smoking is easy...If you have self control. Just say to yourself: Meh, I don't give a shit about my body wanting nicotine, fuck it!

Do that for a couple of weeks and your body will thank you.

lol tell that to Stamper

I'd agree with them changing the message - the message isn't even that much of a change - but you shouldn't have such grotesque images on a public product - especially when it's every product that falls under a particular category. This makes it seem as though the UK government is copying the internet, by manipulating people to do (or not-do) something by grossing them out, as opposed to actually giving them the facts.

Eww thats a horrible picture : (

Surely that's not the real picture? I mean, it's horrible! The crappy cut-out job, the uninspired typography and overly thick letters...

Seriously. I don't smoke, but the previous warnings had a nice sorta minimalism to them.

It might seem a bit over the top, but maybe it'll help to stop people from smoking.
I think it's only a bad thing for people who actually smoke.

Just don't smoke and live healthy ^_^

Now THAT is very discusting!! And it will haunt my dreams forever!!! Unless I hit my head to a tree branch again! But still,

Don't you dare fucking smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my mom and dad smoke :( And the one picture would be good.in canada,the packs have a heart of a smoker and of a none smoker

They already put pictures on boxes in some places.

btw me uncle died after puking out his liver, didn't see it but it was a mess .
lucky bastad

holy whats on his neck!!!!!!!!!

The bottom pic looks like someone glued a raw meat patty on his neck...

Well, people will just ignore it, just like in Brazil, we have these kind of images(self aborted fetus, destroyed lungs and so on) for ages, and nobody seens to care about it, they keep buying it and barely note the images, there are even LAWS that the image need to be seen when the cigarrets are beeing exposed to sell but even that is ignored, people just randomly put it at shelves(or wherever) and it's fine... resuming... no big deal.. xD

thought none of you were environmentally friendly guess i was wrong

and I know this it happened in Hong kong too and Ive seen the packets of smoke our version has a smoking skeleton in it not undead and moving but sitting just still.

+ people found loopholes in the law and now annoy people by smoking in bus stations

tried to stop the guy but he blewhte smoke in my face.

wow what...........but..................w hat the hell how that guy nack yuck

Jesus, that's disgusting.

seriously everyone who smokes know the dangers and consequences, why add this? If its to stop people smoking I don't think this will work, people smoke because they choose to and as I stated, do know the consequences and adding that image is going too far

im glad i quit

Glad I quit smoking... and don't live in the UK. >_>

Seriously though I don't know if you guys have it yet but there's this new drug Pfizer put out called Chantix. It's the first medication of it's kind to help you quit without using nicotine. If you consider quitting check it out it worked for me 8 months no smoking so far and believe me I don't miss it.

Hmm. That looks more like a piece of raw meat trying to choke him.

There is already labels like that in canada. Its quite gross. The one with the teeth is horrible

My god. That's disgusting. Now people have to start smoking with their eyes closed.

Dammit.

I didn't want to smoke in the first place, my teacher gave me about 100 reasons not to, and now this picture. I'm most definitely NEVER going to smoke, and even if I do (which is a .00000001% chance of happening) It'll only be a day or less. Blech. =p

NEW PROBLEM: People will see them as collectable, smoke more to collect all the different box versions. Maybee they can do special edition ones on national holidays and stuff ^^

The problem .. the problem is YOU!
I just wanna say-again-that you guys think kids smoke because a camel in glasses told them to! these fucking feminist housewives you think you're such heroes fuck you. y'know why people smoke kids too! its not the same as weed but it helpsits because of fucking pressure depression and anxiety OK? its out of stress just like the same reason you smoke. we all gonna die sometime its fuckin' inevitable and everybody at some point gonna die you can't prevent that. and the exaggeration and over use of such thing will result to death how much smoke could one really huff that will kill him instantly second hand smoking and all that shit about destruction of the planet is something beyond absurd people are exposed to all kinds of threats daily and over protection is producing this fruity fragile fucking generation OK? so just leave nature to take its course...
adios

Smokes only noobs. Your one of them.

Does sound ridiculous. People have different immunity to different things! I know a person who's smoked since they were 15, and now they're 57. And still hardworking, completely healthy, blat blat.

Oh and, two thumbs way up for Salad Fingers - my favorite too.

They should do the same with alcohol, only show a naked fat later saying 'see ya later' XD

I mean woman, not later. NVM, I think I ruined it anywayz :(

i smoke its not a nice thing i wana quit dont do nothin for you like weed does lol

nice to see some english ppl workin for this site keep up the good work my britsh brother!!!!

it's probably meant to make you think twice about buying them, heh, I remember how much trouble they went to in school to show us EXACTLY what smoking does to the lungs

So what, if your stupid enough to start smoking you deserve the hassle.

That's just weird and stupid. The government are dealing with this situation really stupidly. I've got too much to say but can't be bothered to write it all. I liked the saying in Rock and Rolla about cigarettes.

I remember doing some research on smoking
if you smoke in moderation it actually lowers your blood pressure

auctually malachy, i was playing WOW a month ago and these guys in my guild said that if smoking is a risk to your life, then EVERYTHING you do is a risk of your life.

pretty sad auctually...

thats a good pic now i show every person i know that smokes the pic

Okay ill just saying i physically cant smoke (asmsa)...nor will i ever.... but geeze dude...right after i ate too...:(~~~~~~~~~~

It's not always the smoking that kills someone, sometimes it's the emotions one has when smoking that perpetually pull them down forever. Besides, I have no problem with people smoking around me and it should be allowed in public buildings. In my college there's anti-smoking propaganda stuck around the school under the name of "tell it like it is" and I want to post something beside actually telling it like it is. But, hey that's me.

wow, that's hot.

Woah 0.o

NO no noooo that cant be real it looks like puke only worse

How many cigarettes do you smoke a day? Thank God, I smoke none.

Sir-nuts has a point. Only weak people smoke in the first place. To often I here people saying that they haven't smoked in a while week or what not, even 15 year olds at my school - but I don't give a fuck about them. They shouldn't have started it in the first place.

If I buy a pack with that on, I'll do exactly what you said. Invest in a holder and discard the pack. Holders aren't expensive so yeah, fuck the goverment.

They shouldn't put nasty pictures on the packs. Not all people smoke a lot. Its like putting pictures of fat chicks on butter and hamburgers.
/post

Hahaha..

If you guys made Country edition NG shirts, I would buy them all.

Nice shirt.

That's sure to prevent.

Oh come on! How many people do you know even have that thing under his chin? I never seen one person in my life have that. I'm pretty sure people who smoke WAY to much get that.

Dammit!!!

That is a NASTY picture,but yeah don't smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second image is stupid and disgusting. Neither of these would stop an 18 year old from purchasing cigaretes if he went to a store with the explicet purpose of purchasing cigaretes. It is hypocritcal for a smoker to support stricter smoking laws.

I preffer the "smoking kills" :p but god, do i need a cigarette right now
