What tobacco does to your health 01:07The new cigarette health warnings, once finalized, would appear on cigarette packages and in advertisements, occupying the top 50% of the area of the front and back panels of packages and at least 20% of the area at the top of cigarette ads, according to the FDA.This draft version of the rule comes after a judge ordered last year that the FDA has"delayed" issuing a rule mandating such graphic warnings.
Altria, which owns Philip Morris USA, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes, said in a separate emailed statement that the company"will carefully review the proposed rule and its implications to our businesses and submit comments."More than 40 million adults in the United States still smoke cigarettes, according to the CDC, and about 4.7 million middle and high school students use at least one type of tobacco product, including e-cigarettes.
