The FDA reveals 9 new shocking warning labels for cigarettes. According to FDA starting September of 2012 all cigarette packaging will have to have larger, easier to see warning imagery. This is a great step for cancer prevention. I think my “favorite” would have to be the tracheotomy smoker. We are a little “behind” Australia on the gross out factor but but even if this initiative helps 1% of smokers to cut down or even stop smoking it has done its job. FDA has made these Cigarette Warning Labels available for download in high resolution. You can do your part to fight this war on Cancer by educational means.
