Smoking Can Cause a Slow and Painful Death - Marlboro

Don't take my word for it, read the label on the package!
"Smoking Can Cause a Slow and Painful Death"
and
"Smoking Kills"



These were for sale at the Helsinki Airport. Strangely, the warnings were only in English.

Take a look at the price difference. If your traveling out of the EU: 24 Euros compared to 41 if your traveling to another EU country. That's a difference of 17 Euros. However, the tax on cigarettes in Finland is over 70%, so the real tax-free price should be about 12 Euros, but the margin for the company is always higher than when the product is taxed.

I used Marlboro as the example, but all the brands carry the same warnings.
