Cigarette packets now must contain these images, 30% from the front of the pack, and 90% of the back must be covered with these.
The good news is, it's worked well, a lot of people dont even want to buy smokes anymore because of these images, it's giving them a reality check to what they could be doing to themselves and everyone around them.
It's kinda funny, my sister works at a store that sells smokes, and she always tells me that people tell her "Can you give me a packet without the pictures on it?" , when she relies no, there's none available, they just dont buy any at all.
The bad news is there's now a large market for cigarette-packet holders, because nobody wants to look at the ugly pics.
