A New FDA Cigarette Warning For Conservatives
The Looking Spoon ^ | 6-21-11 | Jared H. McAndersen

Posted on 06/21/2011 6:00:50 PM PDT by The Looking Spoon

Dozens of new designs were made, but a winner has been chosen!



All kidding aside, I mentioned last November that large labels like the one above are coming...

Beginning September 2012, FDA will require larger, more prominent cigarette health warnings on all cigarette packaging and advertisements in the United States. These warnings mark the first change in cigarette warnings in more than 25 years and are a significant advancement in communicating the dangers of smoking.

From the FDA

"These warnings mark the first change in cigarette warnings in more than 25 years." It would be frightening if boredom with the old warnings was a motivating factor making the change....it wouldn't be shocking though.



TOPICS: Humor; Miscellaneous; Politics; Weird Stuff

It’s so nice that the Government cares enough about me that they are willing to insult me into doing what is best for me. I hope they can start calling me a big fat pig on my candy bars too. Then I’ll know they truly love me.

As if anyone over the age of 6 who can read and watches TV doesn’t already know cigs can cause health problems. Allowing this type of BS with cigs and alcohol is why Bozo and his fat a**ed wife think they can dictate to food processors what ingredients to put in their products.

That won’t even slow down a smoker.

They already know the danger. They choose to lead their own lives.

Smoking addictions are difficult to overcome.

The anti-tobacco, anti-capitalist propaganda marches on.

“Bozo and his fat a**ed wife think they can dictate to food processors what ingredients to put in their products.”

You know you really should give up smoking so that you’ll have more time to spend in the rest home.

I got the pills last November and it was very easy to quit.
No side effects nothing just saving $3K a year by not smoking
They were 30 cents a pack when I started.
Surprised me how easy it was.
