Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the nine graphic warning labels that will appear on cigarette packs and ads starting September 2012.

These graphic warning labels are the first change in the cigarette warnings in 25 years and will include a message to call 1-800-QUITNOW, the cigarette quitline. The warning labels are a part of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 that the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, our allies and advocates like you helped to pass.

You can view the final 9 warning labels here and see what stores will look like once the label requirement takes effect by using the “before and after” interactive image here.
