Man furious after spotting his own amputated leg on cigarette packs, despite losing limb in assault A 60-year-old man who had his leg amputated following an assault was shocked to discover an image of his limb being used on cigarette packaging without his consent.
The picture is reportedly displayed on EU cigarette packets, accompanied with the message "smoking clogs your arteries".
The Albanian man, who has not been named, made the discovery after his son bought a packet of rolling tobacco in Luxembourg last year, radio network France Bleu reported.
The son recognised the scars and burns on the image and showed it to his father who confirmed it was a photo of his leg.
However, the man says he lost his leg as the result of an assault in Albania in 1997 before he moved to France.
His lawyer, Antoine Fittante, told France Bleu that the amputation had “nothing to do with smoking”.
