Current Events QTR 2 Week 8: Propose Cigarette Product Warning

Summary:
           The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) requires that cigarette packages and advertisements have larger and more visible graphic health warnings. 
FDA issued a proposed ruleRequired Warnings for Cigarette Packages and Advertisements, proposing to modify the required warnings that appear on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertisements.  These new required warnings would consist of nine new textual warning statements accompanied by color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking. 
Opinion:
        In my opinion, I think the Tobacco Control Act is right. They should put pictures on the pack so the smokers know what they are putting there selfs in. They also have good warnings on there packets. I think it will make people to strive to quit. I hope this effects smokers and helps them.
