cigarette packet warning the smoker ! ! !

Cigarette packets that talk could soon join the fight to push smokers into kicking their unhealthy habit.

London: The researchers were inspired by tobacco companies, who have been making more attractive packaging for consumers, and tried to use similar tactics against the company to

encourage people to give up the habit, the Mirror reported.

The researchers came up with two talking packets with different recorded messages.

One offered smokers a phone number for advice on quitting smoking and another warned that smoking reduces fertility.

The packets use a technology similar to the ones used in birthday cards that play a message, when opened.

The packs are fitted with a voice recording and playback unit that helps the message to get repeated every time the  packet is opened.
