How do these images make you feel about smoking?

It's unfair though. They don't put pictures of fat people on food, or an utterly destroyed liver on alcohol bottles. The mixed signals we're getting from our government is disgusting. No it's not OK to take drugs... UNLESS it's alcohol.. or caffeine.. or any amount of prescription drugs. And now even though smoking is completely your own choice, we've gotta look at pictures of dead people. Just seems a little harsh, ya know? If it's that bad for you, then shouldn't they make it illegal?? Considering, that's the attitude our government has been pressing on us for so long now. Oh yeah I forgot, they don't actually care who gets ill and who dies as long as the gears are still being turned. You have to remember as well, that our lungs are still getting affected by the large amounts of pollution from factories/cars, so it's easy for the government to scapegoat smoking for a lot of lung-related diseases. Not like smoking isn't bad for you, 'cos I'm sure it is.
But in conclusion, the images make me feel little different. I'm still going to buy them, and I'M still going to be the one who smokes them. I'LL get the tumours and I'LL die, but at least I'LL be enjoying one more of my gradually disappearing pleasures in life.
