robinblokeSeen on a packet of fags today, as usual "Smoking kills"
No big news there, but how far can this go? I mean, smoking isn't exactly the only dangerous habit known that we court danger with, should beer bottles be labeled with "Turns you into a drunken idiot. Destroys your liver" should cars have big stickers on their bonnets that say "Caution: May run you over.", fatty foods have "Will make you fat", tubs of paint have "Do not drink", saws with "Not for use on humans."
Or maybe just things are that obvious they don't require lawsuits, or maybe common sense is steadily becoming a thing of the past.
