Surgeon General’s Graphic Warning of the Day: Making good on its promise, the FDA announced today that it has informed cigarette manufacturers that they must affix large, graphic warnings to their tobacco products by October 2012.
The gruesome labels are already standard in some 40 countries, and the US government hopes the nine images chosen as part of the most significant change to warning label policy in over 25 years will help persuade people to quit and/or avoid the cancer sticks altogether.
What say you? Will these labels convince you to stop smoking?
