Due to current warnings, nowadays kids in the playground will smoke as a dare out of bravado, and then will face a lifetime of addiction.
It seems the only way to stop kids becoming addicted to something that will drain them of their money and more importantly their health, is to openly insult the smoker instead of giving a health warning.
For the PC brigade out there, if you check your english dictionary, "queer up" means "to make strange or odd", "to make unwell" (the most relevant meaning", "to spoil or jeopardise".
"Gay" means "having or showing a merry, lively mood", "bright or showy", "dissipated" (the intented meaning here).
"Fags" is British slang for "cigarettes".
My suggestions for new warnings are the following. Please pick your favourite or suggest an alternative:
From the subtle "It takes one to smoke one" and "Fags queer you up"
to the mildly insulting:
"Fags are gay"
& for the person of lower intellect
"Only idiots smoke"
"Giving in to peer pressure is stupid"
