Why not label everything?

 

I find it very interesting that cigarette manufacturers are forced to use ugly, graphic labels depicting the diseases that can occur through frequent use of them, while liquor bottles go untainted with likely labels!

I am totally confused as to why coolers and cider alcoholic beverages go without ugly, graphic warnings as to what happens to a person's liver, and brain, when cigarette packages are forced to blanket their products with nasty photos of the results that maybe can occur while using that product.

Not to mention beer and wine products. Why is it only cigarette packages need nasty pictures on them?

Don't get me wrong, a graphic label won't make me cease using what I really like to use, but I just can't get over the one sidedness of the whole thing.

Also, isn't pop bad for you? Why isn't pop labelled as severely as cigarettes?
