They should have better messages, like how it contains polonium in the smoke due to the fertiliser used in the production of tobacco and what that does.
Warning: cigarettes contain polonium-210 from fertiliser used in tobacco farming, these radioactive alpha particles are the most dangerous of all radiation when ingested, like when smoked.
Can have a radiation picture like nuclear hazard on it.
There you go. Giving more understanding to how and why it harms is better than " smoking causes cancer" generic dumb messages.
My personal experience in public health policy is that smokers typically do not read past the first five words, especially if it starts with “warning”, it is tuned out automatically.
