Talk:Tobacco packaging warning messages

message: To Do: things I'd love to see
1. History of warning signs-in Brazil dont they show pictures of swollen up arteries or something?
2. Translation for foreign ones - I have friends from all over Europe who smoke-I'll be adding some Russian, Czech, German, French and Brazilian ones in soon
3. No deletion of this. It starts out small, but it'll get bigger
4. Move somewhere else maybe, add some categories to it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewayforward (talk • contribs) 13:04, 2 December 2004 (UTC)

text: so would I. I'd like to know how much the incidences of cancer, among smokers, are increasing or decreasing since the launch of the warning labels/photos. Has any research addressed the effects  of how the human body may be affected by the power of suggestion, subliminal messaging, etc., in a negative manner-ie: visualization becoming realized.Ibelieveineverything (talk) 01:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Currently it has sections called English French German etc, I added the Irish section as "Republic of Ireland" even though the messages are presented in English. It would probably be more accurate to point to the country or jurisdiction in which the messages appear rather than the language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.138.134 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 4 December 2004 (UTC)

message: I've added information about spoof cigarette warnings but didn't want to link directly to the website that seels them. Should a link be given? It's www.fakefags.co.uk if so.

message: I don't smoke, so i really can't contribute. However, I live in Canada, and I know that on our cig cartons, there are big gruesome pictures taking up like half of the cover thing. I know that they have one of people with mouth cancer, black lungs, etc, but im not sure. someone else who reads this might know. SECProto 23:45, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
:http://www.infotobacco.com is the Canadian site. Brazil and Thailand's Graphic Warnings can be viewed here, and the full list (with examples) of countries displaying graphic images are here. hth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.134.6.202 (talk • contribs) 11:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to suggest moving this article to Tobacco packet warning signs or Tobacco packaging warning signs (I prefer the latter).  The reasoning is that such warnings don't just appear on cigarette packets, but also on tobacco pouches.  violet/riga (t) 20:18, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: One particularly interesting warning on tobacco in Spain was "Fumar Te Matara" (Smoking will kill you).  If anyone can compile a list, that would be great! --Trafficone 11:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Warning signs in the countries of European Union are standartized by Union legislation. Therefore there is no sense to compile a separate list for every country of European Union - bacause all warnings are the same, in the official language of a respective country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.246.200.110 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Can somebody please Tanslate the Italy, and Lativa section? offtopic: Compared to the other warning labels, the US one looks inferior by tryin to use "bog" words in stead if falt out sayin it "THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 06:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The purpose of this post is that i wonder why Singapore is not featured here.Singapore is also a country that take a serious stance against smoking.Cig packs have graphic images and u can literally see anti-smoking(not no smoking) signs around downtown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.9.5 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  penumbral lunar eclipse? 

message: Does anybody know of any study looking at the length of the warning message? I always think that "Smoking kills" works better than a lenghthy medical text and thus in a smaller font. Similarly, are bi- or trilingual messages less effective than monolingual ones? 213.143.18.23 (talk) 08:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Length of Message 

message: who gave the right to the mayor of nyc to raise prices on cigarrettes. was this because he need it to raise more money for the city or because he is reformed smoker like everybody else. and i thought that the goverment has to ask if they can implement the law instead of make it a rule. why dont you outlaw the vodka scotch and wine. and close down the bars and reastaurants that sell alchohol that cause liver cancer that just as dangerous as cigarettes and why they dont ban buses planes with monoxide. i dare anybody from this organization to debate with me anytime on their convenience and time if they dare  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.146.205.81 (talk) 03:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
