What do you think about it?
When I was at Heathrow airport a while ago, I saw shelves of cigarettes for sale. But they were different from what I see in the U.S. There were the same brands, but they had written in large print on them "Smoking seriously harms you and others." "Smoking kills." "Smoking causes lung cancer." etc... and yet there were about 5 people browsing around trying to find which of the many brands they wanted to buy. Seeing this made me just want to start yelling at those fools! It blatantly says that it will kill you and yet they were about to buy it!
Also, I've noticed at several CVS's and 7-11 or other stores, behind the counter, they have all the cigarettes, and right next to them are the nicotene patches and gum that are supposed to help you quit! If you put both of those out for someone trying to quit, and while they're buying the patches/gum and they see cigarettes, won't that make it a little tougher for them!?
Many of my relatives on my dad's side of the family smoke, and I don't understand why they do it. It's exspensive, smells, and more importantly, it's deadly!
So, opinions, anyone?

Too legit to quit.
