FDA looking to formulate new cigarette warnings
From: Vaping Post
In 2011, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Big Tobacco, who had appealed against new cigarette label warnings that the FDA was implementing. Yesterday, the agency announced the launch of a study which aims to formulate new warning labels that are constitutional.

Finally this week, the FDA announced its proposed research on lawful cigarette warnings in a public notice in the Federal Register. The aim of this voluntary online consumer study, is to assess whether the warnings that the agency was forced to revise, actually promote a better understanding of the risks of smoking.
In its announcement, the agency said the gathered data will help inform health warnings that are effective and lawful. Members of the public who wish to have their say, have a time frame of 30 days to submit their feedback.
