“Warning: Graphic Warnings”


Tuesday the FDA unveiled the new graphic health warnings which will be required to cover 50% of cigarette packaging.  There are 9 different disturbing images, and the message to children is clear: “Hey kids, collect them all!”

If cigarettes don’t hurt your health, the warning labels alone are enough to make you sick.

The graphic images depict a cancerous mouth, a corpse, diseased lungs, and more.  In fact, there will soon be a call for a warning about the warnings.

Two cigarette manufacturers have already filed a lawsuit saying that the new labeling requirements will kill their branding and their relationship with customers.  Meanwhile, their brands are actually killing their customers.
