Deadly Messages on Cigarette Packs
I bet everyone knows that smoking is bad for our health. Even the government is well-aware of that.
That’s why all cigarette manufactures are enforced to include “ugly” pictures on the packs. Basically, to discourage, and hopefully halt, smokers from smoking.
Here are some of my cigarette packs the common pictures we come across.
Charcoal-like lungs.
Miscarriages make babies look like aliens.
A set of disgusting teeth on Ken.
Eh no, I meant Kent.
For the smoking ladies, premature birth of your baby.
A hole on the neck so that food can be swallowed with it as well.
Last but not least, awesome deformation on the feet.
However, such effort to reduce smoking does not only revolve in Malaysia. Even the government in UK has its own method to curb this phenomenon.
But unlike Malaysia, the UK doesn’t beat around the bush.
They are, yeah, straight to the point. Smoking kills!
P/S: I don’t smoke okay. =)

Yeah, malaysia’s ciggies boxes have scary images. Btw the Kent box not lips ka tu? @_@ Gigi ka? Waw I like that UK box. Words says it all bah. But then again, smokers dun stop smoking also.
simple tapi berkesan.. rokok membunuh.. tak yah letak gambar pelik2.. pandai2.
Ken, i didnt know got such gory pictures in these cigarette boxes till u showed them here.. :) Malaysia showing pics bec most of us cannot read… smoking kills! :)
nice picture
didnt know y so hard for people want to stop smoking
Don’t smoke cigarette, smoke cigar!
hahaha i wonder why Malaysia put the sick photo? why not just put the grave or killer word like UK hahaha I’m not a smoker too… cause I love my money hehe :P

i’ve quit from smoking for about 1 year and 2 months… If i can… why dont u??? hehehe
now rokok got so many cap.. cap mulut, cap kaki, cap bayi, cap paru-paru and so on… hehehe
but words or pictures… those who wanna smoke will still smoke. Sigh!
Malaysia’s picture messages more effective lah! Not every smoker or potential smoker knows how to read or bother to read! Haha!
wah…where u find such lot of cigarette (r u smoker too?hehe)
London is the best in world of reducing smoker campaign

eayy…do u know dat new trend for buying cigarrates? i discovered about past 6-7 months ago…
“uncle, can u give me dunhill 20’s foot one?”
hahahh… damn funny… used to buy for my ex b4… =)
i think better they put something more horror like ghost 3D image or something… because ppl nowadays prefer to scared to such thing like ghost or black magic rather than that body-part-sickness picture. =)
yeah, i’d rather it to be straight to the point. those pics tend to get invisible to smokers when they look at them too frequently. Words do register into brains more effectively.
You know why Malaysia must put pics instead of writing smoking kills? Because they are not good in English.. How to translate to BM?
ROKOK MEMBUNUH? Then they will start killing person..
Haha..
Plain message is more effective! So why pictures made the package more horrible-looking? They were made for making the smokers quit. However, the pictures itself are not good enough to make them quit. Too bad huh.
do u ever eat Tandoori chicken at mamak’s (indian-muslim) stall?
the colour is red isn’t? and also very delicious.
nah, do u ever see human Tandoori? it is all over the cigarette box! the red coloured baby. LOL! =p
cigar is dangerous..
still…peoples smoking everyday…
the hole on the neck is not caused by smoking. it’s an artificial opening meant for breathing call tracheostomy after complete removal of the voice box cancer (surgery called total laryngectomy) which is commonly caused by smoking and alcohol consumption. just a piece of mind to share. :)
and with all that grotesque images, people still buy it.
meh. i guess smoking makes them blind to all that.
Hahaha smoking kills. Now I wonder which one works better.
haha, tht’s why i didnt smoke.
G.morning~~.^^..Hmm..Quite like their cigarette design..I mean like giving their citizen to know that what consequences they will get if they smoke …some sort like that..X)..cigarette=a creepy thing+the smell of it was totally stink+cost expensive per pack..right??..><..I'm so wondering why people still can continue smoking like drinking 8 glass of water per day.@.@..
haha, so you don’t smoke, sure? :)
At the bus stop, I’ve see some people smoke while looking at those pictures. Then when they were done with the first one, they take another.. haha
kalau dah jenis gian..letak gambar apa2 yang menakutkan pun dia orang tak hairan..
smokers don’t give a damn about what shows on the boxes wat..
Zzzz… do u ever heard of a smoker quit smoking because of what drawn/written? Zzzzz..
but i ever heard a smoker said
Charcoal-like lungs – not my lungs what, my lungs very strong one..
Miscarriages make babies look like aliens – tsk tsk tsk.. not my baby
A set of disgusting teeth – use more Colgate
For the smoking ladies, premature birth of your baby – I am a guy
A hole on the neck so that food can be swallowed with it as well – good wat, now I can eat with 2 holes
awesome deformation on the feet – I forgot what he said.. =.=”
geng leh.. =.=”
it doesn’t seem to make a big impact on malaysians though…we still see people smoking everywhere…the tobacco industry is too big to be controlled~
it’s the ignorance of these people that make them wanna continue smoke. They will not take those warnings seriously if one of their closest friends/ family members got it.
Aiya, they put what photo in front also no effect to smokers d. Btw, u purposely buy so many packs of cigarrete for this entry?
HAHAHA…
OMG!!! Looking at those photos makes me wanna BARF! Disgusting MAX! Lucky i don’t smoke. DD:
scary pic but it still wont discourage people from buying
I think the pics are useful in the sense that they look morbidly disgusting, which would put smokers off. It worked for me! I’m a proud quitter. ^_^
nice post on cigarette… here’s a question if u don’t smoke how much did you spent on it??? hehe
I didn’t spent a single penny. =)
WALAOO!! scaryyy!!!!
You’re outdated… So long already, those pictures…and Singapore did it long ago! Better increase the price…make it very expensive – maybe that will help!
malaysia should be that way X)
Either way the smoking message is clear : Bad for both first & second hand smokers
smoking won’t kill the smoker but the ppl around smokers… sigh!
Nice post hehe, by the way I’ve heard of some people who collect them (images) lolx! I’ve actually seen a guy walk into a restaurant and started looking through the cigarette shell behind the counter. He even said the brand name but he wants the one with the leg or something like that. I kinda overheard their conversation sitting right next to the counter. The cashier asked why? He said, because I already have the hands, throat and so on. LOLX!!!
Also, a theory from my friend… Because of those image, if he don’t smoke, he might end up like one of the pictures. (A good – bad excuse to continue smoking) lolx…. People can be amusing!
what ever it is! i just hate smokers! =)
Especially when you go hawker stall and the table next to u is a smoker and smokes!
Although the box printed with gross pictures, but it still doesn’t stop the smokers from buying them. Sai hei.
I dislike smokers. Make me feel my age has shorten when they around me.
A picture speaks a thousand words so actually I prefer M’sia version.
Such is life and there will be the do-ers and hate-rs. Honestly, the pictures didn’t do anything to me.. at all. I guess they are trying to scare the younger generation.

euuuwwwwwwwwwwww
dont like dis kind of pic. tgh makan blh hilang selera tau if see dis pic. letaklah apa pun pic…kalau sudah perokok tegar, they dont care…

No matter how scary is the picture or how sharp is the message, I believe if won’t stop the smokers to continue to smoke lor…
Hello Wei Ken
I am glad I tried a cigarette when I was 11! I hated it, it was my first and last puff, and I never had any since. Hope I’ll never end up like any of those pics!
Proud to be a non-smoker!
I like this post!!
this is for every smoker out there!!!
Lol! There was this guy, who’s last request before he died, was that on his hearse and near his grave there would be posters and placards saying
“Smoking killed me”
And it went round london I think before he got buried.
yeah…I like dis…cuz I’m not a smoker…and I hate smokers…so…woots~
can i know whether you are smoker as well? hehehe
but you look not like smoker.
hi kenwooi,
nice message.
however from my personal observation, the scary images have done nothing much to the smokers that i know of.
a few tend to laugh it of and keep smoking as usual.
hopefully there is a statistics about the decreasing numbers of smokers after the Government print the cigarette boxes with those images.
i would really like that because I HATE CIGARETTE SMOKES.
my respect for smokers is always low.
…why so many cigars in ur desk??
=p
smoking kills, but the smoker smoke every day until they are not been kill
Visual is still better. Once I accidentally walked into cigarette area, and those scary pictures scared me. Passed the area by not looking at any of it.
smoking can enhance concentration! (said heavy smoker, but not me)
now smokers in malaysia smart edi. some of them keep their cigar in different packaging. example, metal type. very high class.
LOL. cool. I like this, smoking kills. Normally this kind of campaigns only applied to non smokers.
I’m a smoker. An ex-smoker actually. I suggest the smoker should read Allen Carr’s Easyway. And I stop smoking for one whole month so far and hopefully to the end, which I failed before so many times. The smoker who want to stop smoking should know what is Smoking Illusion is. Then, stop smoking is an easy task. ^^
yeap!!!smoking kills….
and i really hate ppl smoking in public area~~
I think just by adding such extreme picture don’t change the smoking habbit.
erk, rasa nak pengsan…im weak with these kind of pics, erk…
to me, the pics show more impact than the plain words…the pics so scary(to me lah)
Tak ada maknanya. Huhu.. People yg still nak smoke, mana ada dorg kisah pn. I still remember. I used to be a cashier at one of mini market in my housing area. Smokers, they even took that as a joke. “Dik, mintak dunhill cap kaki satu”. ~Sigh~
Smokers know smoking is bad for their health. But what can they do? They have addicted into it. :)
You got it right man!!!!
SMOKING KILLS :)
Malaysian style. . . turn around the bush.. :P
straight point better ! haha
This post sure dissuades smoking!
Yeah the British do not beat up Bush, they were best buddies but here they need to beat up around Bush inside out, outside in, left right and center. Didnt know smoking can cause deformation of the feet. thanks. The last I checked the price of Done the Hill was RM9.20 per pack. It will take less than a year for it to break the RM10.00 mark.
Walaupun ada pic yang macam2 tu.. tapi dia orang tetap suka merokok kan..
Dunno that UK also has sign..
Direct but can’t stop smoker
smoking kills you. and you around him.
In the UK they also have government-sponsored English language courses for resident adults, days and evenings, even in small towns. My wife (she’s Malaysian – her English is fine, but a bit … Malaysian) attended some courses when we lived in the UK. If you make sure everyone can speak the national language, there’s no need for expensive colour printing!
How much are cigarettes here? If you go to asda.co.uk and check their prices, there’s hardly any pack of 20s below 5GBP (works out to about RM1.50 each cigarette, or RM30 per box). I think that’s almost all tax.
Our cigarette packs only have verbal warning labels. No gross pictures in the U.S. … yet. But as gross as they are, I think it is a good method to deter people from smoking.
Hi all,
Picture nothing for hardcore smoker but people arround take a lot of trouble.So the best advise to the smoker come from people her love..
merokok membahayakan kesihatan….
hellllo kenwooi! haha i saw those pictures. However i don’t think it works for most of smokers lol. Celcom clicked for you!
hahaha… ppl don’t care about the pictures actually… or better still just transfer those ciggies to cigarette boxes/holders wad… =)
huhu…but men always mintak picture yang baby tuh. sebab lain2 picture tuh diorang boleh kena. tapi baby tuh diorang xmungkin kena. :p
I KNOW THESE ARE NASTY!!!!!!
Although, most of my smoking friends think the pictures are editted and are fake and is a government conspiracy to trick ppl into not smoking ~.~”
I say… DENIAL!!!!!
haha…me too..i oso did not smoking..i think pic didnt effect anything to the smoker because my frenz prefer to test diff pic..like yesterday he asked for leg pic..
creativity. good.
richard
FYI, those are actually ciggie flavors on the boxes. For example, with respect to your pictures, the Charcoal Lung, Strawberry Baby, Cranberry Lips, Cherry Throat and Frothy Frostbite.
Although I don’t smoke, I kinda dig Cranberry Lips out of all that, and yes, they do kill brain cells =)

true that!
got domain also not super as yours. mine no hosting. blogspot is the host.
but people still like to smoke!!..tak insaf..huhu
i had quit smoking long time d lehhh ~~ ^^
may b they should put some MORE EXTREME pics
such like COCK cancer where d cock gone rotten with worms..
… Boobs cancer where half of d boob mutated being grayish color n ripple dark with a dead meat of black lump….
I think that will be more effective ^___^
Well, cigarette still is one of the best selling product…
lol good point u have there!!;D
the pics are suppose to scare ppl even more i guess. after all pics are suppose to speak a 1000 words. but honestly its like not like the smokers don noe smoking kills, they just cant stop. :)
even the pics look scary, but ‘buyers’ treat it like invisible..hehhehe
i don’t think those SCARY pictures work for SMOKERS. The Love and Crave for cigarettes over takes the fear xD
Be it picture or words, once “gian” already, smokers wont quit just like that. Unless some sort of life turning even happen in their life
*cough* The baby reminds me of tandoori chicken.
people who smoking didn’t mind the picture at the box… the main thing in their mind is ”i want that!! i want that..”
some friends I have who I adore but can be retarded, always laugh when they see the premature baby, calling it Chuka Idako
They just don’t care….well…not until they are on the verge of death. :(
passive smoker die before active..that’s the fact..lol
do u think the smokers care??
You know that even with these pictures on those boxes, smokers do go buy em right ? LOL !
It’s like talking to the deaf. They just don’t get bothered with it.
Maybe, MAYBE, there is 1% out there who did quit by seeing those pictures.
But yeah. 1% only. Sigh~
good for you ken… smoking KILLS… =)
yup, straight to the point. save your breath for other things.. :D
i think they missed one thing..
smoking can cause impotence!!!
the malaysian style doesnt work.. trust me.. and i dont smoke either, but my friends do..
