Smoking is cool

Ananova:

'Smoking is cool' stickers made to cover up health warnings
A website is selling stickers with messages like "Smoking is cool" to cover up the black-bordered health warnings on cigarettes.



Other messages include "Smoking makes you look hard", "Live fast, die young", "Social smoking doesn't count" and "Smoking makes you look big and clever".

Fakefags says the stickers, which they sell in packets of 20 for £3.99, make the health warnings a little less stressful.

A message on the website says: "You were probably as surprised as we were to see huge, black-bordered health warnings appearing on your favourite brand of cigarettes recently.

"We don't know why the government have decided to poison our fags, but we can help you do something about it."

But smoking is still cool smile
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

You think black bordered warnings is bad? HA!

In Canada, besides the warnings, packages also have to meet strict standards that prevent them from being too attractive.

And those lungs? Law enforces that gross smoking pictures are put on every single package of cigarettes, IN COLOR. You always hear people saying:

"Yeah, give me a pack of Export A's please, oh, but not the teeth. Any one but the teeth"

Teeth is a really gross closeup of these yellowed, bleeding gums.

On every single pack.

lol, and then, at the same time, we're relaxing our pot laws.
