If you want more evidence that smokers are aware of the dangers but ignore the warnings, you need to look no further than Germany. Smokers are faced with new regulations by the all-knowing, all-powerful E.U. that require absurd warning labels to cover 30% of the front and 40% of the back of a packet of cigarettes, reports Reuters. Germans are taking the new overstated warnings with a bit of humor, and covering them up with their own quirky messages.

"Begging cigarettes from others can lead to sudden death," reads one black and white warning, imitating one of the 14 EU-mandated health messages required since last month.

"Move out of the way! I'm headed for the graveyard" and "I smoke because you stink" are two other warnings that German smokers are sticking on their packs.

Reuters also toes that anti-smoking line by claiming, "Smoking-linked diseases kill more than 500,000 EU citizens each year," as a factual statement without any evidence or sources cited to back it up.
