Do you think the graphic pictorial warnings on cigarette packets will stop people from smoking?

All tobacco products manufactured from May 31 will have to carry pictorial warnings on their packets in a bid to discourage their consumption.

Rejecting the reservations of tobacco companies, the government has ordered that the products will have to clearly display a scorpion and diseased lungs as pictorial warnings which should cover at least 40 per cent of the principal display area of the packets.

Do you think these graphic images will turn smokers away from the vice or will it make no difference to them?
