I'm sure there were thoughts of the english government putting pictures of huge fat people on packages of fast food. But it was obviously debatable due to people being offended.

I say just raise taxes on anything unhealthy. You still have the choice to buy it.

Pretty decent of Pearl Jam to let them use No Code polaroid's for cigarette packaging.

Disappointing indeed. Combining Prohibition with a physical addiction in nicotine would lead to lead to a conflict even more bloodier than the drug wars we have today.

Exactly. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man. If people want it, they will get it.

I'm definitely oversimplifying it, but it doesn't sit well with me that something can be legal and this heavily discouraged. I'm not saying we should promote smoking, or let Joe Camel push butts to kids again, but adults should be able to make their own decisions within the realm of legality.
