I anticipate a huge increase in the sale of cigarette cases.
“Be the first kid to collect ‘em all!”
Makes me wonder why they (the gov’t) won’t put graphic pictures of aborted fetuses on the outside of abortion clinics.
How in the world can the Democrats and liberals even feign that their point of view is NOT one of nanny-state extremism?!?
You cannot seriously have a debate with someone who does not have ANY semblance of reality! RIGHT?!?
Now, let’s mandate murals of aborted fetuses on the outside of abortion clinics.
Barney Frank should have to walk around with a picture of an emaciated AIDS patient pinned to the back of his jacket.
Nanny staters with OUR MONEY in action! Beats having to work for a living.
There should be a picture of a Zimbabwe trillion dollar note next to Obama’s name on the next ballot.
I am not and have never been a smoker, but this deeply offends me. Time for Congress to put it’s foot down if they are ever going to be serious about reigning in the Fed bureaucracy.
So will these photos go on packaging of medical marijuana? What about second hand marijuana smoke?
This will only cheapen and desensitize the effects.
If warnings about bad effects are to be placed on products, then the very graphic gruesome details of the genocide of the Unborn ought to be plastered all over PP.
I wish the tobacco companies had the courage to stop production of cigarettes for 3 months. The gov’t would beg them to start making them. Maybe even bring back TV ads. I loved the commercials (It’s what’s up front that counts! lol)
I know several guys who are big time ‘chubby chasers’,would love to see pictures of large women on a 12 pack of beer or a gallon of ice cream and would definitely increasing their consumption of both.
Nanny staters never anticipate the proverbial ‘unintentional consequences’ of any plan.
Just as long as any Obama re-election literature ALSO includes a warning photo of an empty wallet and an Unemployment application. . . .
My response to an earlier thread. Guess someone will fix this issue, but here are a few thoughts.>>>>>
I have an answer to this si$t. I wanted to make a fortune on this, but wanted to get this out for some enterprising freeper.
Simply make a very cheap condom (like a thin film) that can easily be placed over the pack. Disposable. Could have waterfalls, beauties, words like F You O, anything that makes the image you like.
Granted, smoking isn’t good, wish I could quit, but this morbid idea from the FDA will send some to the lawyers to sue. For hurting my kid. Just thing of the pack with FDA sick pic laying on a picnic table and some kid sees it. Or in a bar where you can smoke. Law suits galore.
My idea could be made in Texas (love that state) or China or anywhere that it is cheap. Less than a penny a pack. Ladies with purses will probably use cig cases, but guys want something easy, quick and no hassle to slide on. 100 for 50 cents. The tobacco co. probably already thought of this. Do you get my drift?
If cigarettes are a legal product -- and they are -- and if people can lawfully buy them -- and they can -- then it's none of the government's business what the labeling is.CPSC dictates all sorts of language and labeling, especially safety warnings on toys and some children's clothing. Most of it sucks, as in it doesn't describe the hazard or how to avoid the risk. In contrast, the photos on the cig packs are probably quite effective.
