Fun fact: the Chinese government has full control over China Tobacco, the company which makes every cigarette in China. The government also suppresses any anti smoking legislation at any level (even local). This kills up to 2.5 million people per year

This is also why they’ve got all sorts of cool images on their cigarette packs; almost the entire rest of the world has banned it because it contributes to the smoking problem but the Chinese government makes a ton of money from their population’s addiction so they do what they can to avoid large warning labels and any graphic images

Cmon bro the labels on the package are not stopping anyone from smoking 😭Besides the fact that you’re straight up lying, if you actually look it up they basically have the same regulations as us, you’re just mad their boxes are cool as fuck and ours are boring, shit bro I’m jealous too

You cannot truthfully tell me that this picture of a rotting foot will not deter anyone from smoking in comparison to a glamorized picture of a popular political figure

In china it is legally required for at least 35% of surface area on cigarette boxes to be covered in warnings, the whole back of that box in the picture is probably covered and I would imagine that is not the average box of cigarettes in china, do your research man tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in both the us and china, and a similar portion of each population dies to it yearly, the rates in the us are actually much higher if you use the lowest estimates.

We dont even get rotting feet on our boxes they’re just plain with logos and written warnings, Id take the warning pictures over nothing but me personally I think boxes with Daddy Marx on them would be even cooler

Nah straight up I don’t think it would deter anyone, pretty much anyone going to buy a full pack already smokes, knows the consequences and doesn’t care, not to be digging too deep into it but if you think abt it the majority of ppls first cigs are probably given to them by their friends or some shit, by the time you go buy your first pack you already know what’s up😂😂😂
