The green packaging is decorated with shocking medical images designed to discourage smoking. The front side shows lungs affected by smoking, and the back side shows a body in a morgue drawer. Thai law requires the use of extremely strong visual deterrents, which is why such packages are highly memorable and collectible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"725\" data-end=\"909\">The top bears the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly logo and an official excise stamp.
