Time to start voting with your wallet, by not buying any more of them!
Okay, this might be a dumb question, but do different cigarette brands do (taste?) different?
Again, sorry of this is stupid.
“I can excuse the lung cancer, but I draw the line at advertising!”
If you work on not buying cigarettes anymore you avoid the ads and something for your health and your pocket. Triple win.
Yet another reason to quit!
They’re advertising alt-cigarette products, right? Probably from their parent companies alt subsidiary.
I vaguely remember in the '90s they used to have slips like that in the UK. Can’t remember if it was advertising or things like “Collect 100 of these tokens, get a 20 pack for free!”
Yeah it says “Heats real tobacco, doesn’t burn” so probably a vape. The big cigarette companies have all bought up companies in the vaping industry in the last years.
not a liquid vape. they probably mean something like iqos, which just heats thw tobacco
That would be false marketing, then. The reason why vapes are much less unhealthy (still unhealthy and wouldn’t recommend them for anything except temporary use to quit smoking) than cigarettes is that they DON’T contain tobacco!
There’s a big difference between “heated” and “burnt” tobacco. Same as with weed vaporization vs smoking, vaporization is much healthier compared to inhaling burnt plant material.
True, but e-juice still isn’t and doesn’t contain tobacco, is my point.
The ad might be for another kind of vape that DOES use tobacco, which would still be MUCH more unhealthy than e-juice even without the burning.
That ad doesn’t make any health claims tho. Or am I missing context here?
You’re right, I’m just disspelling a common misconception about regular vapes and including why it’s significant.
Philip Morris advertising a Philip Morris product by pretending they care about your health
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
We sell cigarettes, but if we were you we wouldn’t buy them.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Youre mildly infuriated by a reminder that youre actively killing yourself?
The post is about the ad for vape pens inside the box, not the health warning.
Be that as it may, an advertisement for vaping is technically a reminder that smoking tobacco is bad for you.
Oh shut up you tart.
No, not really
Australia has all cigarette packets an olive green colour with the usual graphic pictures as well as the same font used on all of them. Seems to work and the manufacturers have slunk off to their kennels.
Norway has it too on ciggs and snus, not many smoke but thats becouse of how popular snus is
Oh man, I just don’t care at all about ads in cigarette packs. I wish they would make them 5 times as expensive tho.
I wish they’d outlaw them globally, they are cancer sticks
I’m pro smoke free legislation but prohibition doesn’t work
I wish they’d regulate what goes in them.
That’s very unlikely to work tho
Come to Australia. On the rare occasion I see someone smoking a real cigarette now I just think “who can afford to burn a $3 cigarette?”.
If they were more expensive in my country, I and a lot of other people would just import them illagaly from eastern europe tbh
i though that the guy in the bed dieing was an american health company Ads 💀💀

I would like to apologize for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world’s current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world are simultaneously shaking their heads and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me.
Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as “Grammar Nazis”) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they’ve written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn’t fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn’t it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet.
That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I’m sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I’ve written a bit of an essay, but I hope I’ve made my points clear.
No one is reading that gish gallop of garbage.
Yeah I felt like I was going to have a stroke if I read that

Still not reading.
It’s extra funny because the person correcting this guy provided the wrong spelling.
*speling
you like your cigarette the way you like your youtube, ad free /joke
*and cancerous (like the comments)
“Try Cigarettes Premium for an ad-free experience!”
That is a practice that is at least few years old. I’ve seen similar cards with ads of IQOS (or Heets? I don’t remember) produced in many languages for European market.
A fellow Viennese!

Yeah, sometimes they put ads into stuff you buy. Not the biggest problem, but it is mildly Infuriating.
For the commenters: Oh no, an ad only smokers can see.
