Smoking kills, part 2

Just thought I'd share some of the cigarette carton warnings from some other countries, as found on Wikipedia.

From Hong Kong:


From Canada:


Obviously, some governments figured if they can't convince you that smoking is bad for your heart and lungs, they'll scare you by saying that there's no more Mr. Happy if you don't quit soon.

But this one from Australia really drives it home, by using pictures instead of words to make it real to the smoker:


And here in The Philippines, well, our government still tries to be polite by simply making cartons bear the phrase: "Government warning, cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health".

Must be a lot of smokers in the government.
