We do the same thing in the UK, with explicit images of diseased lungs, eyes etc. Taxes have also escalated year on year, so it now costs around £12.50 (~$15)

Taxes have also escalated year on year, so it now costs around £12.50 (~$15) for a pack of 20 cigarettes - I guess this has cut smoking rates more than the graphic imagery.
- ferzul 7y agoI've heard from people who stopped buying cigarettes once they had to come out in olive green packaging. I guess whatever works right? It can be a pretty minor benefit, but as long as the net is in the right direction.
- GordonS 7y agoSure, I didn't mean to imply the imagery wasn't useful, only that the high taxes are probably more useful :)
