jessheadbangs: thedailywhat: 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? [wsj / consumerist.] They had these in the UK, I’m actually really glad they’re implementing this in the US. I think it’ll help.  When I was in Italy the cigarette packages flat out said “Smoking Kills” in big, bold, block letters across one whole side of the package… I even took a picture of it hoping that one day the packages in the US would say similar things and I prayed that the message would convince people to quit… or at least convince young teens to never start.
