9 days agoWhat about rollies though? Like, I guess they’ll put the new warning on the pouches, but are filters and papers going to have them too?
It’s one thing to print a warning on the filter of a tailored cig, but when rolling your own the only warning is on the pouch itself.
I’d like to see more affordable NRTs tbh, make them real cheap, cheaper than they are, and I’d imagine more people would choose to use them.
Fkn aye! I can tell you the pictures on pouches do nothing to deter me. I know logically that cancer is bad and awful and just the worst, but the addiction is so insidious and ingrained it feels so intangible.
When I see nrts that cost the same as a pouch, it’s obvious the government doesn’t actually want people to quit. The addiction is going to win 95% of the time, coupled with a poor mental health system, up that to 99%. Of course it isn’t impossible to quit, but it isn’t easy and adding gorey cancer pictures to packaging is going to do nothing.
Coupled with the ease of getting black Market ciggies that don’t even have that packaging, well. Someone somewhere justified their graphic design degree I suppose.
