I think the older people are too addicted to give a shit and younger people would just find it amusing.

I don't know how effective it has been, but the UK goes out of their way to make the packaging look really shit.

Standardised packaging with distasteful colouring, bland fonts, health warnings. I hope they do the same with vapes (although disposable vapes are being banned so that's cool).

Australia has very similar plain packaging.

When I used to smoke it became a game among my friends to collect certain packs with certain warnings on them.

Other people I knew used to transfer their cigarettes into metal cases or something else.
