Eating junk food or using salt in moderation isn't going to kill you. Me eating a chocolate bar or a bag of chips once a week isn't detremental to my health. The same can't be said for cigarettes.

if you had read beyond my first sentence you would see I agree with the covering up of smokes but that they took it way too far, if someone wants to see what products they have they should be allowed to show them.

Most adult smokers know what brands are available so i'm not sure why they need to ask. I believe it's the teens that they are targeting - one who are just starting to smoke and are not sure what brands are available.
