And I'd had no idea! It's been over five years now since I moved back to Korea, but since I quit smoking many years ago (except for the very very occasional puff on my favorite pipes, for memory's sake) I never paid much attention to the packets of cigarettes behind the counter at every convenience store. Sure, I sometimes see discarded packs with gross photos of a ruined lung or some such prominently displayed, but never thought much of it. After all, smoking is already pretty severely frowned upon as an evil habit here in Korea -- I just never realized how severely! Today, for the very first time I happened to actually pay attention to the scary warnings on cigarette packs, and I just couldn't help but laugh.
#1. How to have a stroke
#2. How to acquire sexual dysfunction
#3. How to have yellowed teeth (compared to the others this one doesn't seem nearly so bad^)
#4. How to get lung cancer
#5. How to get laryngeal cancer (on all the packs)
#6. Nicotine addiction, exposure to carcinogens
#7. How to go blind
#8. How to acquire vascular disease
#9. Lung cancer (just straight to the point)
#10. How to make other people sick (probably means little in China)
#11. Heart disease (again, direct to the point)
