The rest of the world is going "Nanny State".

Old news, i know, but damn... what's next? Bland gov't issue uniforms for civilians? Grey socks, grey shoes, grey pants, grey shirts.... or brown shirts...

It's not like the packs come wrapped in pornography or subliminal advertising. There are many other ways to say that cigarettes are not candy...
