[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 173498, member: 1723"] Where does governtment intrusion into our lives end? And when did Big Brother also become our nanny? While the gross pics are intended to accompany packages of cigs, this has consequences for those of us who also smoke cigars and a pipe. It's the camel nose in the tent syndrome, if you see what I mean. If this is allowed, then why not graphic pics on candy bars that show bigass syringes and insulin? And pics on fast food containers that depict morbidly obese people with multiple folds of fat and a hotline for some goobermint agency that purports to have the answers to weight loss and responsible healthy eating? No I don't smoke cigs. And while some of us here do, I still have to vehemently object to yet more nanny-state mind control and intervention into what is still a personal and legal choice! And beyond all that, any elected official who thinks a stupid pic is going to deter anyone from indulging in what they fancy really needs their head examined. It's a feel good law, and has no impact beyond getting them re-elected from their mouth breathing constituents! :shock: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
