The good thing about an authoritarian government is that when it wants to do something, it will do it, and not worry about what the special interest think (arguably, the only “special interest” is the Prime Minister). At Seven 11 I saw cigarettes have new warning labels. They take up half the package, and consist of graphic, shocking full color pictures of blackened lungs, rotting teeth, and tracheotomies. We’ll never see anything like that in America! Maybe it will do some good. To many young Thais think smoking makes them cool.
