Back in November of 2010, the Food and Drug Administration unveiled a new series of graphic, mandatory labels for cigarette packs. They were comically grim, featuring blackened lungs, cadavers, and a man blowing smoke through a tracheotomy hole, among other ghoulish images. The visuals were accompanied by text warnings like “Smoking Can Kill You,” and a helpful hotline number: 1-800-Quit-Now.
“Every single pack of cigarettes in our country will in effect become a mini billboard that tells the truth about smoking,” FDA Commissioner Margarat Hamburg told reporters assembled at a press conference.
