Poll: Which New FDA Cigarette Warning is Most Disgusting?

By Chad Garrison Tue., Jun. 21 2011 at 11:04 AM

A warning we like to call "Ol' Zipper Chest."

If you haven't heard yet, yesterday the FDA announced new health warnings that will cover approximately half of all cigarette packaging beginning in September 2012. The warnings range from the emotional -- images of babies surrounded by smoke and people reacting to news they have cancer -- to the downright gory, all designed to scare smokers into quitting.

So, tell us, which of the following from the "gory" category do you find to be most disgusting? Take a gander -- and cast your vote -- below!

1. Speckled black lung

2. Canker sore from hell.

3. Ol' zipper chest.

4. Ment-hole lights.

there are many awareness programmes done, but still the number of smokers are increasing day by day http://www.labelsourceonline.c...

I pick #5:http://i52.tinypic.com/2iqlczn...Notice Seblius is telling Obummer to go even farther to the left with ClaireAir backing them up! That'd scare the warts off a horny toad!Then again if photoshopped and faux staged pics:http://www.washingtontimes.com...are your bag you can always add all 9 to with your alien autopsy videos and fake moon landing evidence.

These will do nothing to stop smoking. The only way to stop smoking would be to have random packs explode, and even then I'd bet people would still smoke

These are collectors' cards. These have done nothing to reduce smoking in the 40-plus countries that have instituted them, and the other ones are a helluva lot more graphic than these, such as bloody fetuses in Singapore.

I can't wait to get the cartoon baby (really, comics on my cigarette packs!) and the Whitney Houston ones; other ones besides the 4 here on the FDA site.

Wait a minute....are you saying that smoking is bad for you?

Had an aunt that smoked like a chimney, 3 packs per day. Got cancer and had the tracheotomy. Continued to smoke through the throat hole. Of course got lung and bone marrow cancer next. Continued to smoke in her death bed. She was adamant that the smoking was not the cause of her cancer or emphysema and never gave up that argument. Became very upset when challenged about smoking/cancer. Hopelessly hooked and too afraid to admit it.

Gotta be the lungs. I remember a butcher in West Frankfort that had the throat thing when I was a kid. Cool! Other shit can happen for the others. LFTW
