    I think the older people are too addicted to give a shit and younger people would just find it amusing.

    I don’t know how effective it has been, but the UK goes out of their way to make the packaging look really shit.

    Standardised packaging with distasteful colouring, bland fonts, health warnings. I hope they do the same with vapes (although disposable vapes are being banned so that’s cool).

        The problem is, every pack looks the same, so if you’re out with mates you gotta really keep an eye on your smokes or put some identifying mark on them

          Just find some mineral based paint and everyone picks a color, dip your smokes and the best part is you can coordinate your outfits

        It’s also pretty expensive in the UK. I think it was like twice as expensive compared to Estonia when I visited several years ago.

      Australia has very similar plain packaging.

      When I used to smoke it became a game among my friends to collect certain packs with certain warnings on them.

      Other people I knew used to transfer their cigarettes into metal cases or something else.
