Maybe the USA should adopt this strategy...


In Thailand, the warning images on packets of cigarettes, illustrate all sorts of nasty smoking outcomes, rather than a banal textual warning. Locals there report that each time they open the pack and have to see rotting teeth, it makes them really think twice about lighting up... (on the box tops, the image is pasted right on the top).

UPDATE:
Singapore too has such disgusting warnings that even nonsmokers do not wish to look at the stackfull of cigarette cases in the shops. Here is a list of all countries with such warnings in place. Here are graphic images used in singapore cigarette boxes. (really disgusting!)
