It’s one thing to put unhealthy products like cigarettes in ugly packaging, but today’s invention seeks to get the message across in a more personal way.
When someone buys a pack of cigarettes from a vending machine, a photograph would be taken of them, by the machine.
This would then be processed in realtime to simulate the aging effects of tobacco usage and the resulting image printed onto the package.
A more positive marketing message might be used on healthy products, except that the image there would show some automatic wrinkle removal, eye whitening etc.
