IIRC research on the effectiveness of those labels is already kinda thin (would love to be corrected on that).

And if graphical diseases in the packaging like that gangrenous foot is not enough to discourage someone from smoking, I'd bet that adding more and more death threats has veeery marginal gains if any. My intuition says it's much easier and effective to keep raising taxes on it until it's more and more stupidly expensive.

They had labels like that when I was still in school, the kids were cutting them out of packets and using them like trading cards.
