Rick has the right idea. Anything short of death is not a deterrent.
Everyone wants to be knocked out. Nobody wants to be dead.

Ok but when you say "work" do you mean they'd stop smoking or smoke more, because one of those things is a social good.
I think we've learned that when it comes to drugs nothing is a deterrent.
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.
Holy shit
Embed photo!
UK ones are like that too. They're not all the same picture as above, they show some pretty gnarly stuff.
Looks badass, honestly. Maybe I'll pick up smoking in the UK...
The problem is, every pack looks the same, so if you're out with mates you gotta really keep an eye on your smokes or put some identifying mark on them
Check out my Etsy store, we sell of kinds of cigarette pack cozies.
Bring a little individuality into your smoke breaks.
Also, the Onion's classic "New ad tells teens it's gay to smoke."
14 years! All of those old news segments from that era are absolute classics.
So that is the reason I bought myself vape recently. Siwwy me :3
Make all drugs legal and create government monopolies to maximize tax revenue.
This would encourage smoking amongst younger meme savvy people I think.
Looks like an ad
I don't smoke, but I would strongly consider buying one of these just because of the depiction lol
This makes me want to take up smoking again.
Except... Marlboros. Yuck.
