For all the heavy smokers

[DroppingPlates]

What would be more effective against smoking, this Australian law to print pics like these on sigarette packs or to double their price?

[newmom]

I think the cost..Yes I smoke but not nearly as much as I used to, not that I was a heavy smoker. I only wish I wanted to quit

Tito just told me he likes to smoke you, since that's better for his mouth

ok youre amazing

There's been research about what's effective. These pictures are not. Raise the price is effective and limiting the number of selling points.

In theory a good idea but probably also a great stimulus for the black market.
I can't say what's the mental impact of these pics on smokers since I don't smoke, but I find them pretty disgusting.

When the warnings were put on the packets some years ago, people shoved them in those leather boxes. After a few month you didn't see those anymore. people get used to warnings and filthy pictures. That's why telling people they get lung cancer doesn't work as well; everybody already knows that.

They've got those pics on decks in Canada. Cost, I'd say, is a more effective deterrent.

of course if you price them at 100 bucks it would be 100% effective (as far as regular markets goes). In Brazil we have this shit in every cigarette pack and once it worked for me (pic of a dead guy who just puked some green goose) but Im not a big fan of cigs in the first place.

That's the power of addiction. To me those pics are fucking scary, but the serious smokers seem to laugh about or deny them.

two things caused me to quit cold turkey:

1.  the banning of smoking in all indoor spaces and within 15 ft of a public doorway (wtf, i live/work in Chicagoland, there's a public doorway every 5 feet, i have to drive out to Indiana to smoke)
2.  having a kid.  when i had my kid, i didn't want to be a negro who smokes around his kids, so the day my kid was born, i had 3 cigarettes in my pack.  i smoked them right in a row and threw out the pack and haven't had one since.

i'm not gonna preach here, smoke yourself to death if you want, but i just didn't want to pay others to poison me.  smoker's breath used to be cool 15 years ago, but now you just smell like a doucher.

John Wayne 5 packs a day all time greatest smoker in the world. Probably smoked while he was sleeping. Teeth dont look too bad.

True - but maybe it'll freak the kids out enough to at least nag mum/dad to stop. No-one wants to frighten their children. In Australia, cigarettes are the first thing hit if more taxes are needed. They already cost a lot more than most other places in the world (apparently), but it doesn't seem to be discouraging that many people.
