When graphic warnings first became mandatory on Canadian cigarette packaging, it sounded like a good way to get the point across. We have kids on packages (title: Don't poison us), droopy cigarette ash (Tobacco use can make you impotent), people on life support (Cigarettes cause lung cancer) and more.
Thai cigarette packaging is way more intense. Every time I walk by a cigarette stand it blows me away. The pictures show tracheal-tube holes, rotting teeth, cancerous lips, last rites on corpses - the Thailand's ministry of health decided that gritty was the way to go with their messaging.
