Post-modernism laid the groundwork for an ‘I have my facts and you have yours’ culture. Or call it ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’. Community has been replaced by an atomised screen time facing our individual echo chambers. Decades of neoliberalism has impoverished swathes of the population, materially and intellectually. There are many chickens coming home to roost.
Seems a bit ostentatious.
You have conflated health labels on alcohol - the point of this thread - with graphic images on cigarette packages. An afterthought in the post I replied to.
I will not be wasting a second reading that.
Edit - also, please note, in your second reply in this mini-thread you claim you never questioned the effectiveness of health warnings, when this is exactly what you did in the post I replied to. You are a timewaster. Post evidence of your original assertion and I will read it.
Provide evidence and I will read it.
I am not interested in baseless claims that may or may not be relevant.
Not only were health warnings self‐identified as an important source of health information about smoking, but also an effective means of communicating health information. The results provide evidence at both the individual and country‐level that health warnings on cigarette packages are strongly associated with health knowledge.

his pattern is best illustrated in the case of smokers’ knowledge of impotence. Canada was the only country where packages carry warnings about impotence, and accordingly, Canadian smokers were almost three times more likely than smokers from the other three countries to believe that smoking causes impotence.

Honestly, blah blah blah I don’t think it would change much of anything blah blah blah is just really silly. The information is out there, why not look at it?
Do you really want to carry your lifetime supply of honey around with you every time you move apartment?
What other foodstuffs are you going to buy your lifetime supply of? Dried goods? Tins? You could get yourself a winnebago and fill it with all your lifetime’s worth of food or something, which would make lugging it all around with you forever easier. Just hope nobody nicks it.
This might sound daft but I’ve traveled for years and literally found that mime, the more extravagant the better, works fine.
