The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed a rule to require new health warnings on tobacco products. The proposed warnings would appear on individual cigarette packages and in advertising. Cigarette packs would have realistic color pictures showing some of the lesser known, but serious health risks of smoking. They include a smoker’s increased risk of developing conditions such as diabetes as well as lung cancer. The Food and Drug Administration, also called FDA, is the federal agency responsible for protecting the health of people in the United States. Not only do the proposed warnings contain graphic images, the written information would also be easier to see. In a statement, FDA officials said the agency did research and found that many people did not read its small text-only warnings. The statement described the proposed rule as the most significant change to cigarette labels in more than 35 years.
