I think it's so silly, and a waste of marketing and advertising money. No one, not even hardcore smokers, deny that smoking is bad for you. But on-the-package fright advertising is not going to keep us from lighting up, much like the same would not hinder a junkie from shooting up.

Hey! Can you tell I feel strongly about this? Ha ha. :-)
I can tell you with complete confidence that it has NOT worked. People smoke just as much as they always have and the packaging has become a joke.
