They did that with smoking, I see zero results. I see people looking at those scary pictures and go "huh.." and then light a cigarette to get rid of the anxiety that that image gave them.

Before I quit I would just put painters tape over the picture so I didn't have to look at it. I didn't want to carry around pictures of diseased body parts all day.

Exception to this being the one with the droopy cigarette for ED. It was funny.

Anyway I don't think those warnings influenced my quitting at all, because I avoided looking at them.

That shit exists to make non-smokers feel good. It generally takes a viewpoint change to quit.
