"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Before there was Camel and Lucky strike there was Home Run and Picayune. I remember buying them as a kid. Lord, I'm ancient.

Cigarette cards are quite collectable. Every now and then you might even see some of these at a gun show or military collectibles auction...

That’s a good point. How about graphic pics of STDs on condom and birth control packaging? Show some AIDs wasted homosexuals.

And 81 year old Mr Cousy is still around.

Looks like he could be the head of the family, just like in a M*A*S*H episode.

Only if they also mandate stills from girls gone wild on beer bottles.

“THey going to put a graphic on each pack that shows how much of the price of that pack is government taxes?”

Anything over about $0.80 to $1.00 per pack is all government profit.

Excellent Idea. I'll bet some Freeper could give us some good mock ups. I can see it now; Condom Package with picture of genital wart. Or Book cover Picture for “One of Heather's two Daddies gets AIDS.”
