Metropolis Magazine commissioned an editorial response to a Canadian law calling for photographs of smoke-charred esophagus and other results of tobacco consumption to fill 50% of the package.

From Metropolis: “Berger’s package is caked in a thick layer of creosote—that sticky, brownish substance used to preserve telephone poles and railroad ties, and which accretes on the inner walls of smokers’ lungs—this pack of cigarettes offers not only a gentle reminder of smoking’s adverse effects but a powerful deterrent to actuallytouching the package at all. Alternate packages using tobacco-industry by-products might include mothball powder (a source of naphthalene, a volatile gas foundin cigarettes(, gooey honey (beeswax is added to some cigarettes), or finely ground slivers of fiberglass (a component of certain filters).”

Through cultural imperialism, America exports guns and gun violence to the rest of the world in movies and other “entertainment” delivery systems—America is perceived, especially in Japan, as a very violent place. Our more pernicious and deadly import, however, is our fast food. The corporations who create markets for beef, dairy and fried food, particularly in cultures who previously relied on sustainable and healthful source of nutrition, shoot straight to the heart. The Japanese word for “Supersize” is “Supersize”.
