    One of them is between Mango Mussolini’s ears. I don’t smoke, but I always liked the Lucky Strike logo.

    It feels like EU Directive 2014/109 chickened out in comparison to those pics. Especially all the warning labels regarding children or fertility… a large portion of the imagery is almost comedic, showing that your balls will explode, and that babies will mooch your cigs.

      Brazil, 2001 (later also added blunt phrases with the gore images, eg, “you die” “causes ED”)

      Aus, 2006

        Here in Brazil there’s even a popular joke about someone who went to buy cigarettes and received a box with the message that it causes erectile dysfunction, and then asks to change it for the one that causes cancer

      We did, in fact I feel those are the exact same images from our packs. I haven’t smoked in a long time so can’t compare, but they feel identical.

        Of course I was much too young to be smoking or drinking, so I was delighted. Not A-B though.

          It was more in reference to the graphic images of the harms of smoking. We did plain packaging and medical images and others slowly picked it up.
