Jack Daniel's, (grand) dad does not approve!

I wonder if they've ever heard of "The Law of Diminishing Returns"?

I say either ban them or stop harassing smokers. But no; there, as here, they need the taxes.

... And if you puff yourself to death. Tell st. Peters at the golden gates, you just hate to make him wait; but you gotta have another cigarette.

I am morally obligated to come into any thread regarding smoking and let people know that I quit after 17 years by using an electronic cigarette without any real cravings or discomfort. EIP if you want to know more -- don't buy the POS models at the mall or gas station.

/not a vendor, spammer, or in any other way going to make a dime by helping anyone.

Wow subby, that is an interesting take on the situation. I had no idea that you were also addicted to logos.

You know who else was from Australia and got people riled up about logos...

What the fark do marketing materials have to do with harassing smokers?

Mr Guy: You know who else was from Australia and got people riled up about logos...

Goebbels?

So whats next? Replacing the name of the Kentucky Fried chicken Bacon heart attack bowl, with A logo of goo being squeezed out of a removed major artery?

/Smoking: Still legal the world over, but someone needs to tell the politicians that.
//I'll just continue to huff gasoline for my early morning buzz.
///Oh and sucking on my cars tail pipe to help me sleep at night.

Paul Hogan?

For American reference, before Paul Hogan was Crocodile Dundee, he appeared in several cigarette ads in Australia before they were banned and television viewers didn't have to suffer through them any more

///Anyhow, DON'T have a Winfield

///Or, in a riff on the name of an Australian Prime Minister. have a Whitlam and Gough yourself to death

Pretty sure he would light one up too!

Yeah, sure. Someone who died a good sixteen centuries or so before he would have had the chance to get addicted to your nasty smokesticks would light one right up. People will believe anything to keep doing what they do, it seems.

Starting in January in Australia, logos on cigarette boxes will be banned. Next step: Paying someone $100 to punch you in the face before being tossed down a spike-filled pit to retrieve a small handful of smokes


It's ok, they'd just keep at it until they enjoyed those parts of the experience, too.

/you only really cough the first dozen times your lungs get impaled. After that it's surprisingly smooth.

What's next?
