Again: I'm pretty sure this is aimed at preventing people from starting smoking than it is stopping current smokers. If current smokers want to quit they know how, if they don't then there's nothing stopping them from buying smokes. If you're really distressed by a few ugly pictures than buy a cigarette pack case or a cigarette case. To be honest I think a smoker coping with a few pictures is worth it if the same pictures prevent other people from starting smoking in the first place. Jay, you said yourself that you would have preferred never to have started smoking. What if all it took to turn you off the idea was a nasty picture?
And again, (again,) this is different from suggesting the same thing should be done to fast food. I constantly say this but there is nothing at all wrong with fast food. I mean what are the worst things in a Big Mac? Sugar, fat, and salt. All staples and necessities for the human diet. The problem is when people eat too much of it - but that's the same for everything. Eat too many carrots and you'll turn yellow for example. But compare this to the ingredients of a cigarette. Absolutely nothing in there is beneficial to the human body. It is not the same as regulating food, food is regulated to ensure its not poisonous. Cigarettes are poisonous.
Only "good" side i can see of smoking cigarettes is that it can relax you when you feel stressed.
Not really worth it if you look at all the down side tho.
