Cigarette Pack Update

In Smoking Kills, I mentioned the differences in cigarette pack health warnings among the U.S., U.K. and Canada. I just came across an article on the BBC's website announcing that the U.K. is going to follow Canada's lead: beginning next year, they are adding graphic pictures of diseased body parts on the back of cigarette packs.

The National Health Service has posted the proposed images on their website and are asking the U.K. public to vote for the ones they think would be the most effective smoking deterrents. Click on the link below to cast your vote.
