Let them put what ever they want on the pack of cigarettes. Those of us smokers who don't like what they put can, as you say, switch to cigarette cases (the gold/silver ones associated with ladies having an evening out, and/or the cheap fabric ones associated with.........well, my grandmother who said "earl" for "oil" and "terlit" for "toilet" (she was from Brooklyn). Or maybe those of us smokers who also happen to drink will all run out and buy something called a cigarette flask, which is a flask with a seperate (dry) compartment for cigarettes, for those days when you're on the go & in need of a scotch and a cigarette.
The point is I don't see, not ever in a million years, any smoker walking int othe store to buy his or her usual pack (or two packs, or carton, for that matter) of cigarettes, see the new "graphic" warning, and say "Whoa, hold on there, these things are bad for me, I changed my mind"...sure, there are those of us who, for asthetic reasons, won't want to display the pack with the blackened lungs covering up half the front of the pack & the word "DANGER" in big red letters, but we'll use our cigarette cases rather than quit
