Smokers in Australia are confronted with photos of diseased limbs and organs on the packets of their luscious devilsticks. Like most smokers I have learnt to ignore them so I question their value apart from making a few sanctimonious "health care professionals" feel like they have a role in life telling other people what to do. [Takes deep drag on fag to calm down].
In reality the purpose of these pictures is not to educate or warn but to associate negative images with smoking. To this end the images don't need to be of cancerous lungs or emphasymic children or anything related to smoking but could just as well be images of anything a bit sick and gruesome. And since diseased organs no longer have the same impact they need to up the repulsion factor to get us smokers to take notice. Some possibilities:
1. a large pile of vomit
2. dismembered kittens
3. Julie Bishop
I know, I know, that last one is a pretty extreme but they need to think out of the box (or packet).
