What's wrong with showing someone the likely long-term consequences of using a product? How is that humiliating at all?

I cannot understand your problem at all, except that a government agency has placed certain restrictions on a certain type of product packaging, which seems entirely non-controversial to me.

Have you asked a smoker what they think and feel about it?

Are they happy the product they buy tells them they are going to have a gruesome medical condition?

And do you smoke? And do you advocate for the same imagery on products also associated to gruesome conditions but products you use, like computers, cars, food, buildings, government, etc?

As a non-smoker, I find it pretty gross what they do (here in Canada). Pictures of needles being poked into eyes with boosted contrast, boosted green component... I get where people are coming from, but it seems unjust in principle what they're doing.

Maybe it should only apply to companies which have engaged in fraudulent IFR.
