Default Get rich quick.

I cant be bothered, so I will help someone who can.

Soon all 10 and 20 packs of cigarettes will have a graffic picture on the box to put people off smoking them (diseased lung, cancerous throat, simon cowell etc).

Now you and I know that it will make no differance to hardened smokers.

But they wont like looking at the de-faced packet.

So manufacture a selection of covers for the packets with different styles and designs, just like phone covers. Out of a re-usable card/plastic or neaprene sleeve.

They will catch on and YOU, if you play your cards right will be rich.

Just buy me a nice watch when you make your first million.

Later Yoza

My Mum has a leather one so she doesn't have to read 'Smoking kills' as she slowly dies of cancer.

It's remarkable the number of, obviously, young people who approach me and ask for a light (On the PT system in Sydney). I am smoking? No! I look like I smoke? No! (Maybe the recent hacking and coughing due to non-smoking related issues maybe).

I make sure my objections are noted by smokers in public areas. Inconsiderate a55sholes IMO.

They've had revolting pictures on packets of ciggies for years in Canada.

After a very short time you don't even notice them.

Yet another totally useless piece of legislation/regulation.

And after a while the "impact" has to increase to get the "message" across!! An ever upward spiral.

Take that design and add a built in lighter or lighter holder, or chewing gum dispenser, mouth freshener, or radio/mp3 player, or swiss army knife, built in ash tray, survival kit, key ring,...the possibilities are endless
