One helluva scary pic

Don't mean to spoil your Sunday lunch, or dinner, but we may be seeing these in the shops next year. Smoking is already banned in Ireland in all places of work, including pubs and restaurants, and the Brits are thinking of following suit.

"The EU head office wants EU governments to require cigarette makers to display the photos on their products, hoping the images will have more force than written warnings now on packs of cigarettes, including 'smoking kills' or 'smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.'

"EU member states now use 14 written health warnings, which must cover at least a third of the packaging. So far, Ireland and Belgium have indicated they will require cigarette makers to use the photos, which should appear on packs next year." Source
