Health warnings
Some obnoxious, paternalistic tobacco health warnings courtesy of the European Union. So when we start seeing food packages with pictures of fat/skinny/scurvy-ridden people or automobile paint-jobs detailed with crash scene photographs?
The EU is intensifying its fight against tobacco. At a press conference in Brussels today -22/10/04- David Byrne, the European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, unveiled new hard hitting picture warnings for cigarette packs. They form part of a database of 42 images designed for use in combination with the hard hitting health warnings introduced EU-wide in 2003. EU countries who so wish will be able to use the pictures to add impact to their health warnings.
This makes me want to solicit tobacco ads for the Flea.
