Blowing Smoke

In the United States, cigarette packs just have the Surgeon General warning on them. In most other parts of the world, they put really nasty photos of rotting lungs and people who are missing lips and stuff like that. I guess they feel they have a better chance of deterring you with visuals. For me, those photos bug me out so much that I feel the need to smoke.

While places like Singapore are putting pics of rotten lungs and and mutilated feet (seriously, i'm not sure what the correlation between that and smoking is, but i've seen it), Hong Kong has taken a different approach. This picture here of the hipster skeleton says:  "even after you die from smoking related diseases, you will be cool."   Look at how he's slouching back all relaxed and cool. Seriously, is that skeleton wearing an Evisu denim jacket ???
