Because pink cigarette packs would be for the Lung Cancer charity.
Seriously, there are many forms of cancer and disease which have a ribbon color designation, with charities available for donations:
Blue: Colon cancer.
Light Blue: Prostate cancer.
Orange: Leukemia.
Red: Heart disease, supraventicular tachycardia, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), hypertension and Evans Syndrome.
Yellow: Liver and bladder cancer
Green: Kidney disease and kidney cancer
Purple: Pancreatic cancer and cancer survivor official color
White: Bone cancer and diabetes
Black: Melanoma
Brown: Colorectal cancer
Teal: Ovarian, cervical, uterine (all gynecological) cancers
Lime Green: Lymphoma (non-Hodgkins) and Muscular Distrophy
Lavender: All cancers in general and Hodgkins Lymphoma
Orchid: Testicular cancer
Pearl: Lung cancer or lung disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Mesothelioma and Emphysema
Silver: Parkinson's Disease and strokes
Gold: Childhood cancer
I am fully supportive of the Find a Cure program for breast cancer research and proudly display a pink ribbon on the back of my car. If I were in better shape, I would walk in the Susan G. Kohman 3-day. As it is, I couldn't walk in the 3-hour
