Question to non smokers - offended by tabacco snuff?

Question to non-smokers: Are you offended by the "Tabacco Horror" ? 12 members have voted

  1. 1. The shocking snuff photos printed on cigarette and tabacco packings seem to be of no help in reducing the amount of smokers in Thailand. Are you - as a non-smoker - offended by those horror photos and would you like them to disappear?

    • I, as a non-smoker, consider those ghastly snuff photos a disturbing visual overkill, they have negative impact on my life quality and for mine and the sake of my family I want them to disappear.

I, as a non-smoker, wanted to do this poll for a long time. I feel more and more offended by the snuff pictures printed on tabacco packings, especially because the 7Elevens display them all right in front of me whenever I pay for my groceries or chocolates. My kids have to see those photos and anyone else who doesn't smoke too. But those photos are not intended for us, they should teach smokers to quit, but obviously to no avail. So why do we non smokers have to face this horror every day? I often ask smoking friends to remove their package from the table, especially when we dine together. In my opinion this snuff anti smoking campaign is lowering the life quality of all non-smokers and I would like that horror to stop. What's your opinion?Thailand-Tobacco-0603-660x371.jpg

I do not smoke, nor do I read Thai.

Those photos on the packages look like they were lifted from the "Walking Dead" episodes. Maybe Thais that smoke think the same, and it is merely a promotion for the show.

I also do not smoke and I read Thai lol

Just take it easy. And take this as opportunity to teach your kids that if they smoke they will end up like the pic

The ads are forming in a straight line,

They went through a tight wind,

The kids are loosing their mind,

What they want, I don't know,

They're all revved up and ready to go.

Those photos have nothing to do with smokers....They are from extreme cases on file in the Medical Journals....

I DO SMOKE....but couldnt vote.....

its not the snuff using but the snuff users..

I like them,they are meant not only to deter those who already smoke with little effect in my opinion,but to deter people the youngsters mostly not to take it up.

They're piling in the back seat

They're generating steam heat

Pulsating to the back beat

That's the one.

I have retired from smoking.

Price, advertising, willpower - all ended in a poor result. 2 hours was my best. There were many sincere attempts.

Then, a course of acupuncture was suggested - a course - not a single session. The acupuncture was administered by a qualified medical practitioner.

Depression set in - I felt terrible BUT no desire to smoke.

That was about 1982.

Since I don't smoke and do not associate with smokers I have never seen those images and I doubt I ever will. What I don't see doesn't bother me. As far I am concern anything goes to stop smokers.

Cut their hands off - OK?

Seems reasonable to me. Whatever it takes.

The most difficult achievement ever!
