CBC News - Health - Larger cigarette warnings coming in U.S.: "U.S. government is unveiling a new plan to snuff out tobacco use, including larger warning labels for cigarettes that include images of corpses, cancer patients and diseased lungs and teeth.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the new efforts on Wednesday, aiming to curb an addiction responsible for about 443,000 deaths per year.
The plan is part of a law passed in June 2009 giving the FDA authority to regulate tobacco.
The new labels will be set by June and cigarette makers will have 15 months to comply."
