RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Coming to a store near you: nine more reasons not to smoke.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday is set to release nine new graphic health warning labels for U.S. cigarette packs, representing the most significant change to cigarette packs in more than 25 years.
The new labels will take up half of a pack of cigarettes and also will appear on advertisements. Cigarette makers have until the fall of 2012 to comply.
Mandates for new warning labels were part of a 2009 law giving the FDA authority to regulate tobacco. The announcement follows reviews of scientific literature, public comments and results from a study of 36 labels proposed last November.

They are also including a small baggy with diseased lung tissue in every pack.

That will work out well with my new genetic engineering experiments. I’m trying to grow about five hundred testicles and send them to the GOP Congressional delegation. I won’t be sending any to the girls. Most of them already seem to have a pair.

That's Bob Cousy advertising Kents with the micronite filter. Micronite was another word for asbestos.
Hey, what could go wrong?

I hear that when they introduced this scheme in Australia, teenagers started swapping them like trading cards. Gross is cool to them.

We should demand that a warning label be put on every Congresscritters website. Use the pic of Weiner's weiner.
Warning! The owner of this website may be a pervert.

I find it odd that the government can show pictures what cancer can do to a body but folks are outraged if one shows pictures of what abortion can do to a body.
