To me, it just feels like these kind of images are only for the benefit of people who already don't like smoking, so they can start a smug conversation of how wrong smoking is and how under-educated and foolish smokers are compared to them.
Don't you think that would cause the more rebellious of people to start smoking anyways, just because they know it's a big deal if they do to people? If it wasn't made into such a huge issue, I'm actually convinced young smokers would be cut in half.
