Every cigaret pack in Thailand has a picture on it showing some person with a terrible disease. These pictures have the purpose to scare you off and tell you which awful illnesses smoking could cause. Thailand is a heaven for smokers as the price of a pack of cigarettes is really low! Compared to for example The Netherlands where I come from and a pack of Marlboro costs about €5 for 19 cigarettes, in Thailand the same pack holding 20 fags costs only 63 Thai Bath! Red L&M is cheaper at 58 Thai Baht. Not even to mention the local brands which go below 40 Thai Baht.. These kind of prices don't really disencourage smokers to smoke less or quit, I would even smoke more! And the pictures, well apart from the one with smoking Dad carrying his child with their heads in a dense cloud of smoke, my guess is that the other photos are just random ones of people with diseases which are totally not cigaret related.. It's time for a smoke I'd say!
