"Gracias Por No Fumar"-- La Muerte
Not that I imagine that the rates of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, or even post-club drycleaning bills would plummet, but something like this would certainly give you pause before a smoke. Panamá, like the UK, US, and Canada has had the clairvoyance to put a warning to would-be cancer-stick users, that "Smoking produces cardiovascular disease." More shocking however, is the sight of patient being resuscitated. This can be interpreted as follows:
Indulgence in smoking results in rapid, anonymous, quasi-sterile death.In any case, saw this at the lovely Italian restaurant Jimmy's. Of note, although the owners of said restaurant are Greek, the name of the restaurant, Jimmy's, is English, despite the food being Italian. Add raised eyebrow of culturally-precise cuisine dilettante here.

I remember hearing about this, but I don't remember if it was about Panama. I think some European countries might be doing the same thing....placing scary medical photos on cigarette packages. A brilliant idea, if you ask me.
Similarily, I've always felt that a good way to lower teen pregnancy is to show 12 year old girls a video of what giving birth really looks like (as opposed to the Hollywood version where the worst that happens is that mom gets a little sweaty).
