You forgot about Gold, (B&H) Black (JPS) Green (Mayfair Menthol)
- the colour variety of packaging is quite broad.
Putting pictures of damaged lungs, rotting teeth, tumours on fag packets didn't make much difference...... I for one used to look at the ones with the rotting teeth - usually with the subject looking like some very impoverished soul - who probably couldn't have afforded any basic health care, never mind dental care. so the pictures always seemed misleading - they always seemed to show people who clearly had no money, or access to regular health / dental facilities.
People will smoke if they want to smoke, it really is as simply as that - and the goverenment know this all too well. It suits our ~Government to allow that to continue - whilst they pretend to want smokers to stop. All they are doing is 'seemingly' taking some action. - when in reality - the economy simply could not afford to lose the revenue from extortionately taxed cigarettes and tobacco. That's the truth.
