Why would anyone colourize a photo of a Japanese P.O.W. and also superimpose a hippy surfer photo which has no connection with the original photo...

No-one at a hospital allows a patient to get that emaciated. Also, no hospital I know uses the "hessian-sack-pillow". This entire anti-smoking policy has produced nothing but grotesque and fake photos, purporting to be gangrene (but actually being frostbite) and dental issues (which are just homeless people's teeth/gums).

I take everything printed on tobacco product packaging - with a huge grain of salt. The statistics they quote are batsh*t insane as well.
