    They like pretending gore porn reduces smoking but realistically it has no effect. Its like showing domestic abuse victims on beer bottles, at best it does nothing.

      For those addicted, I agree. Does it stop people from picking up the habit in the first place?

        I don’t think anyone that picks up nicotine is unaware of the long term consequences, at least for the last 80 years. I believe most of the negative pressure on smoking rates is price, not gore. Even in the US where these images are not added smoking has taken a downturn, and most severely in states with higher taxes on nicotine products.

          When I smoked my favourite one was “Smoking harms your baby”, as that’s something I’ll never have to worry about. The guy with the little breathing hole in his throat was cool too.
