  This feels like it would make people buy it more because it’s such a rad sticker to have on a box. It’s like the Parental Advisory notice on CDs. It just made them way cooler and were like a badge of honor.

  This reminds me of the old joke:

  A guy buys cigarettes, looks at the package and reads “Smoking causes impotence”. He hands them back and says “Gimme the ones that with cancer”.

  Fun fact: in turkey, cigarettes are unbranded to death, only the name remains. The rest is all warnings.

    Yeah, same here in Hungary. Black box, generic font with the name, warnings on all sides and very visual pictures of what it does to you or what the doctors will have to do to keep you alive. Also only licensed and uniformally branded national tobacco stores can sell it on a universal price and they are all hellbent on always asking for your ID. I think this is almost as good as banning it at this point.

      you would think that, but if they keep selling them, it means people keep buying them

  It’s a pretty grueling way to go, admittedly.

    Yeah, it seems like a demise built around suffering and helplessness. If you crave the sweet release of death, this isn’t it.
