Cigarette warning labels

Get rid of cigarette warning labels that portray graphic images on them. It is unnecessary to use any other format than text warning labels on any products sold today. Do you see any pictures of diseased organs on liquor or wine bottles? Do you see any pictures of coroners, working hard in the morgue preparing dead bodies for the grave, on your big mac container or drink cup? How about putting these disturbing pictures on all products sold that pose a risk to your health? Think of it, the list would be endless; alcohol, fatty-foods, sugar-rich foods, everything and anything that is bad for you.

Look, my point is, written warning labels are more than enough on any products sold over the counter, and anything thing else is just over kill.

Again, think of a warning label we have all seen for years, the flammable label seen on thousands of different products. It shows the word flammable in big red letters and usually accompanied by a picture of a flame...not a picture of burning bodies or blown-off body parts.

It is insulting to any grown, legal adult, to have to suffer these pictures on their pack of smokes, put there by your government to inform you of the dangers of smoking. A government profiting of the sale of cigarettes.

Enough said.

Ken Knorr, smoker
