A Graphic Warning on Cigarette Packaging
By now, everyone is familiar with the printed messages on cigarette packages. It warns of the dangers of smoking. The health advisory is such an accepted part of the packaging that it goes largely ignored. In the United Kingdom, the health warnings will be delivered with accompanying graphic images:
“The UK will next week become one of the first European countries to introduce graphic images on cigarette packets to warn about the dangers of smoking.
The 15 different images will include pictures of a diseased lung and heart surgery being performed.”

Some people have complained that the images are far too graphic and unpleasant. The same could be said of the results of smoking on human tissue.
