Gallows humor
Good on the germans. While I can't say smoking is a great habit, I do find the government-mandated warnings on, say, Canadian cigarettes to be unnecessarily heavy handed. (If you've never seen them, they're complete with color photographs showing diseased lung tissue.) Glad to see some German smokers taking the piss out of another example of government intrusion on private life.

Hmm, I'd say that the German warnings do sound a bit overzealous. But I hate smoking; I've lost some older female relatives to lung cancer and other cigarette caused problems, and I have to stand at least ten feet from any smoker to keep breathing freely myself.

Hey, the pictures on the Canadian cigarette packs work - I quit!
