一些与反烟警语中的过激提法相分庭抗礼的幽默遮贴标签包括“你明天可能被公共汽车撞着”、“Relax with a cigarette”(让吸烟给你放松精神)、“Sorry, it's my last one”(对不起,这是我最后一支)、“Observe children: don't let them thieve your smokes”(看好孩童,别让他们偷你的烟)、“Smoking after a meal to increase satisfaction”(饭后一支烟,赛过活神仙)“Smoking kills, but war's more effetive ”(吸烟致死,但战争更有效)等等,有的把原来的警句作改动,如把“Smoking kills”(吸烟致死)改成了“Smoking skills”(吸烟技巧),让人忍俊不禁(如下图所示)。这些标签可以免费从互联网上下载,一些最受欢迎的网站包括:www.smokingcures.com;www.fakefags.co.uk;www.artpacks.nl等。
