Graphic Photos To Appear On Spanish Cigarette Packets
The graphic images that will soon be displayed on all cigarretes sold in Spain are certainly graphic, some would say disgusting, and many say they are going to far. They will be introduced soon, althought cigarettes manufactured before their introduction will contine to be sold in the current packets.

The new pictures show the effects of smoking on certain organs of the body and are designed to reduce tobacco consumption. They include photos of lung cancer, and aged skin and are supported by slogans such as “Smoking Can Kill” and “Smoking Can Damage Sperm”. They are intended to help reinforce the dangers of smoking alongside the tighter anti-smoking legislation expected for July this year whch will introduce a ban on smoking in closed public spaces. |

Worred about your chances of having children going up in smoke? Some research suggests that exposure to a variety of toxic substances, including those in cigarettes, can damage sperm and/or lower sperm count. Sperm imperfections and mishaps are to be expected, given the sheer volume of sperm in one ejaculate. However, it seems that they occur at a higher rate in men who have been exposed to certain toxins, drugs, alcohol, and radiation.
Now that is how to have smokers from quitting such vice. I surely don’t want to have such set of teeth.
Electronic cigarettes are less harmful and don’t cause stain on the teeth. But still quit smoking or you can have side effects of smoking like cancer and heart diseases. SO STOP SMOKING!!
As much as I hate having to suffer from passive smoking because smokers take their bad habits with them when they go to public spaces, I still think displaying such graphic images is taking it a bit too far since the pics are a bit on the extreme side.
My five cents

Nasty images work. I am a secret smoker, and I am trying to stop smoking. So, when I got a pack of cigarettes in Spain, the image was absolutely horrible. I could not smoke. It works! And even if a few poor smokers will stop because of the images, it would be great. It is a life saving strategy.
Very horrific images. Imagining popping that cigarette in your mouth and having that possibility of happening. I would be stopping myself.
