I need to actually get to a computer to process the RAWs of this, but I wanted to get this one online so I could keep it going.
This is a pack of cigarettes from Australia. They aren’t allowed to use any labeling, all they’re allowed to display prominently are the health warning, and the brand name is small plain type at the bottom. They also aren’t allowed to display them prominently in the store. They have to reach under the counter to get to them. I remember the first few weeks after I had quit smoking that walking into a convenience store was painful. Every time I would have to pay for my items I would be confronted by a wall of the very thing I was desperately trying to avoid. There was a debate about doing this. In our country, but it got shot down. I’m not saying that it would help, and I’m not saying that it wouldn’t. It is interesting however that the conversation seemed to go to say that we shouldn’t be displaying such graphic images where kids can see them. The force is strong in the tobacco lobby.
