FDA issues graphic cigarette labels
Rotting teeth. Diseased lungs. A corpse of a smoker. Nine new warning labels featuring graphic images that convey the dangers of smoking will be required by the Food and Drug Administration to be on U.S. cigarette packs by 2012.

S.P. Woodke, Bismarck, letter: Sweet deal for anti-tobacco forces in N.D
