Time to start voting with your wallet, by not buying any more of them!
It's an adiction man 😔...
i switched to vaping with nicotine. zero problem. did not miss cigs for a second. Then I slowly reduced the nicotine over six months until zero. i'm now smokefree since 2 years after lighting up 30 cigs a day for over 20 years.
I did the same thing after smoking almost as long, well done and congratulations!
You both are stars!! I quit 10 years ago and now I am a podium finishing triathlete and marathoner.
Nicely done! That's how vapes should be used; as a means of harm reduction/tapering off, not as a 'healthy' replacement as some people view them to be.
Gum and patches really do work if you give it an honest try. I'm speaking from experience.
In my experience, they don't and e-cigs do. It’s different from person to person.
I haven't smoked OR vaped for over 3 years after 18 years of smoking where I tried every other smoking cessation method including prescription medications.
Took me about three months of going from smoking to vaping high nicotine to gradually reducing to no nicotine and then not vaping at all.
Yeah the opposite was true for me. Vaping definitely was less effective because it gives you that instant hit which is a big component of the addictiveness of nicotine.
Glad it worked for you though. It's a terrible habit.
I'm glad the other methods worked for you as well! Of all the smokers I've ever known, maybe one or two total have not wished they never started..
Addictions can be broken.
When I would take clients to a smoking cessation therapist, one fact that she would cite was the fact that quitting cigarettes is more difficult than quitting heroin.
I would also be told anecdotally by many of my clients that it was harder to quit than other hard drugs like meth and one person even said crack.
It can certainly be broken, but addiction is a disease and your comment could come off as condescendingly minimizing an incredibly difficult task.
"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.
Cigarettes are bad and all, but from a business standpoint this is pretty clever. The EU forbade them to put ads on the package, so they're putting ads in the packages. I hope my appreciation of their ingenuity gives the some solace when they're burning in hell.
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
Philip Morris advertising a Philip Morris product by pretending they care about your health
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.
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 though that the guy in the bed dieing was an american health company Ads 💀💀
you like your cigarette the way you like your youtube, ad free /joke
*and cancerous (like the comments)
Those little ad cards are an older concept than the filters.
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.
