I think the older people are too addicted to give a shit and younger people would just find it amusing.
I don't know how effective it has been, but the UK goes out of their way to make the packaging look really shit.
Standardised packaging with distasteful colouring, bland fonts, health warnings. I hope they do the same with vapes (although disposable vapes are being banned so that's cool).
Canada's warnings are even more extreme.

UK ones are like that too. They're not all the same picture as above, they show some pretty gnarly stuff. I'm pretty sure I've even seen a stillborn foetus.
