    Smokes suck

    And no, that is not literal.

    I was at my local supermarket today getting mint M & M's and in the express line. Someone was being served in front of me and wanted cigarettes. No problem. Except that he kept asking the girl "Nah, I don't want this picture, you got anything else?"

    FOUR TIMES IN A ROW.

    Seriously, they all kill you anyway, what difference does it make to the picture?

    (Cigarettes in Australia are required by law to have pictures printed on them, we can no longer have them visible unless we have a poster stating the hazards, we can't include them with any special deals and a whole host of crap)

    If I dropped everybody who occasionally said something stupid from my list of potential partners, I wouldn’t even be able to masturbate

      Actually, it does matter. The picture where there's that bendy cigarette that warns of impotence is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Or the tadpoles one that warns of the same. So I can see me or one of my mates doing that, "Is there a packet with the tadpoles/bendy cigarette on it?" and driving the cashier insane. XD

      Note: Yes, I am aware they are not tadpoles. I do know my birds and bees; the pic just makes them look like tadpoles.

              PepperElf's summed it up. They are fairly gross, things like tarry lungs, a stillborn infant, a blood vessel about to burst in an eye, strokes, mouth cancer and a gangrenous foot about to be amputated.

              And Mint M&M's are nothing new in Australia. We have a very limited range in the M&M's unfortunately. This is what we have:

              -Plain.
              -Peanut.
              -Crispy (yummy)
              -Mixed (these have all the above)
              -Mini in the tube form.
              -Mini in the BAG form (I <3 them)
              -Mint. (about the same size as the plain)

              Seasonally we've also had Glow In The Dark and Dark Chocolate M&M's but those were limited edition. That's pretty much it. My mum loves peanut M&M's, so whenever she goes out to a shop like Officeworks (the equivelent to Officemax) she'll buy a humungous bag of them.

                I find some of those warnings quite funny, and the fact that the picture is on the back of the packet, which you hardly ever see anyway (In the UK at least that's where they are, the pictures)

                The funniest message on the packet, for me personally is "Smokers die younger" ...than what exactly, suicide bombers?!

                My grandfather is a living up yours to the whole doom and gloom surrounding smoking, he's smoked every day since he was 11, he's now 88 and in perfect health relatively speaking, despite only having half a stomach for unrelated reasons.

                The funny thing is, it's not the 50's anymore, now we know better, and how they can harm us, yet we still get the whole doom and gloom shoved down our throats.

                  Or my favorite Anti-Smoking ad here in the States, "1 in 3 kids who smoke will die prematurely."

                  From?

                  Car Accident caused by a mob hit? An Autoerotic Asphyxiation Circle-Jerk gone wrong? Getting a piece of red meat somewhere deep down in the cockles of their heart, or maybe somewhere in the sub-cockle region?

                    Glow M&Ms? Does that mean they had an edible glowy coating?

                      Yeah, that's another good one. XD

                      A mate of mine likes the tumour one; he says that the fact that the guy with the throat tumour has a scary 70s porno tashe is far more terrifying than the tumour. XD

                      I think it's stupid; if they should put warnings on anything, it should be cars. Or fatty food.

                          You can get mint M&Ms that aren't the overpriced "premium" kind.

                          One of the few things I like about Christmas time.
                          I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

                            I am highly amused by the "Premium" M&Ms commercials, for some reason...

                              Your tobacco laws SUCK! Here they can't be advertised, must not be within the sight of a customer, and half the package is an anti-smoking message.

                              We have the bendy cigarette, a one stating that a small city dies of tobacco use annually (soon Nunavut will be gone forever at that rate :P), etc.
