Hey hey ladies

Over the last few months in the UK, the health warnings printed on the sides of cigarette packets, tobacco pouches, and so on have got a whole lot bigger. not a smoker myself, I didn't notice this for a while, and when I saw a friend take out a pouch with a huge Smoking Kills logo on the side, I thought it was a sticker he'd put there as some kind of ironic joke against himself :-) Anyway, I've been noticing more and more of these slogan warnings around the place, usually on emptied boxes scattered in gutters and around pavements, and some of them are so blunt as to make me laugh out loud... So, like the skanky ho I am, I've been collecting people's discarded packs, and am wondering just what I could do w/ all these cautionary messages.



Those are just a few, I have several more, and a ten minute walk around my neighbourhood could get me at least another 20, I'm sure (at least I'm providing a street cleaning service). Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you lot have any ideas as to what I could do with the things! Probably just the slogan 'squares' rather than the entire packets. If I were a smoker, I'd probably be a sarky snark and decoupage a cigarette case w/ the things. But I'm not, so I won't. I was thinking maybe a bag like those magazine cover bags that have shown up here lately, but no idea where to get clear vinyl from in these here parts...

Anyway, any ideas?? Thanks in advance

ps - fyi, I'm not rabidly anti smoking, though I don't smoke myself, and would rather people around me didn't, for my comfort and their health. I'm not trying to be a militant anti smoking evangelist here; god knows I drink way too much. Maybe it's time spirits came w/ Vodka rots your liver faster labels or something...
