1) Holy shit, can they print that?
2) Will they be selling a commemorative carton so I can collect all 9?
Here are the images that will start rotating on every pack sold as of September 2012. They will cover the back of the pack as pictured.
Pretty tame. Big tough guy quit smoking. Good for him.
Another tame one. Oh man, smoking is bad for kids. Come on, they don't smoke anyway!
Now we start to ratchet up the fear. People don't like to look at other sick people.
You know what else people don't like? Crying babies. Worse yet, crying babies born premature in an incubator!
Now the FDA goes all anatomical on us. Normal lung on the left. Your lung if you smoke this pack of cigarettes on the right!
Now it's game on. Second hand smoke kills, and nobody wants to see a grieving widow. This one hurts to look at.
Another shocker. Anyone who's ever been to a VA hospital has seen this. Most people probably have not. For those who don't know, this guy has a tracheostomy as a result of surgery for throat cancer. He likely uses an electronic voice box to speak, and also must smoke his cigarettes through his trach tube! That's right, mouth not required to continue to kill yourself!
Another disgusting image. Rotten teeth and lip cancer. I especially like how the mouth is designed to be in proximity to the cigarette as you pull it out of the pack. If only this one could be "scratch and sniff!"
The coup de grace. Corpse status post autopsy. To save cost, probably the same guy they took the lungs from pictured above! FDA needs to use it's government spending wisely - we have a budget crisis!!!

I'm pretty sure those are just overlays that you can tear off pretty easily. At least, that's how it works in other countries that do this. Regardless, my choice would've been a huge skull and crossbones. Although, that would probably make more people START smoking.
