Cigarette Package Warning Labels Are Often Effective

Cigarette package warning labels have been found to be very effective at changing smokers' behavior, though not all warning labels have the same effect.

The study found that health warnings on cigarette packages in the United States, which were last updated in 1984, are the least effective, consisting of only small text warnings on the side of packages.

Canadian warnings appear to be more effective as the cigarette package is covered in a large "photograph of health damage caused by smoking."
