Would The Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, please make public for view the results of malpractice committed on patients? I mean ,well why be so one sided?
Has photos of high speed crashes stoped the sales of high performance cars? No!

And pictures of rotten livers on whisky bottles, heart bi pass ops on butter, and more currently a picture of bailiffs evicting a family on morgage application forms.
I also use a cigarette case by the way.

How typical of this prissy PC country. If Donaldson really wishes to cause offence, he has done so to this non-smoker.

The DoH claims that the UK will be the 1st country in the EU is wrong. I am in Bucharest and am looking at the same picture of diseased lungs that will appear in the UK on my Romanian produced pack of Camel Lights.

I can also confirm these pictures have not persuaded me to give up.

Edwin, Bucharest,

If it wasn't because they need the tax, they would just ban the bloody things!

The images are an expensive way of doing nothing, they will have little or no effect.

Jonathan, Wiesbaden,

Good to see this newspaper is the only one I've found to allow readers comments on this story.

I've just ordered a cigarette case (remember those?) online, I suggest other smokers do likewise.

Typical Labour" They'll have checked the surveys and know this will do little to stop smoking,. maybe a % point or two, the kids are stopping anyway, so Darling is seeing how far they can go with the EU directive to "discourage" smokers, before it hits the tax revenue, at which point they'll stop

George Edwards, Beijing, China

these adverts won,t change smokers habits or make people give it up there are 18million smokers in the uk who are fast becoming the most persicuted in the country for doing something that is perfectly legal and come election time the persicuted will push back

It won't change much if anything and I would be surprised if the warnings have encouraged people to stop. Everyone knows the risk. If you stop new smokers starting, however, that would be a good start.
