An interesting idea to help with the US smoker crisis

Cut the size of cigarette boxes by half so they contain less cigarettes. You can buy as much as you want. Get that out right away. In order for consumers to make the best choices, they need to be properly informed. With the best information, they will make the best choices. Gas stations and cigarette shops do their best to show that cigarettes cause cancer by putting signs everywhere near the cigarettes saying IT CAUSES CANCER but because the smokers are too dumb to realize this, cashiers have to loudly read the label to them to get it through their thick skulls. [spoiler]No matter how hard you try to get people to quit doing something stupid to themselves, they're most likely going to continue doing it. You have to wait till somebody supersizing their meals everyday gets their foot amputated till they realize something is wrong. You have to sometimes wait for a smoker looses his voice or his ability to breath till he finally quits. And even after that, they'll probably continue because they've gone soo far down the path they might as well just see it till the end.[/spoiler] [spoiler]to all the morons not realizing it's a parody thread...what the -blam!- guys? the calories are on the box of every mcdonalds box too, all the warning labels are in numerical form. just like the warnings on the cigs are there too. but meh. keep on keeping on.[/spoiler]

  • If tobacco smokers want the cancer, let them have it. The problem I have is with cigarette smokers is inconsiderately [b]smoking indoors.[/b] Thank god that smoking has been banned in (most) public establishments at least. >Every shower you take will be rendered useless the second you step out of the bathroom. >All of your clean laundry ruined by the time you put your clothes away. >All of those odors locked into the fibers of your hair and clothing >[b]You literally smell like a walking ash tray; you will never smell good as long you're smoking those things[/b]. I'm aware of the term 'different strokes for different folks', and nothing is black and white, and all that, but... You really are sewage of the earth if you're aware and are totally ok with that.

  • I personally don't care. They are killing themselves slowly, and if that's their choice, then more power to them.

    • Shitty parody is shitty. Tobacco: Is legal. Is already taxed as -blam!-. Carries warnings on the package. There are ad campaigns and school programs to prevent kids from smoking. Is banned from many establishments already. So, would you kindly shut the -blam!- up about it? If people want to smoke, let them. Just like if adults want to be obese -blam!-ers let them since health care is still privatized in the US it's none of your business what someone does to their health.

      • When will people realize that this wont help? You can see how many calories are in mcdonalds food and even figure out what it is made of. But people still eat it and people are still fat People know cigarettes are bad, they just don't care.

        • I date a smoker and have mentioned my dislike for the practice. The truth is he really doesn't give a shit and as long as I don't get his second hand, I'm okay. It's his choice.

          • Technically, if you were trying to draw a parallel from my thread, you wouldn't limit the number of cigarettes in a pack, but the amount of tobacco in each cigarette. You don't smoke a pack. That isn't a portion. A cigarette is the portion.

            • Most smokers realize the risks of their habit, they just don't give a shit. There's a pretty big difference between ignorance and being apathetic, most smokers are the latter. Also smoker crisis lol
