Horrifying Cigarette Packaging of the Day

The future has arrived -- the High Court of Australia has upheld a new law that requires the removal of logos and branding on cigarettes, which means that come December 1, all smokes in Australia will be sold in one of these charming packages.

Graphic images depicting the horrors of smoking will replace the iconic branding, which will be reduced to fine print that includes only the name, variant, and number of cigarettes.

Watch for the trend to head overseas in the years to come -- Big Tobacco's protests are increasingly futile.
