   The major change to cigarette packaging in the last 25 years will be print graphic warning labels in package' front. The photos would illustrate the danger of smoking and text saying something about smoking danger.

With this measure, health and human authorities want people know what the risk is consumers are taking. Actually, cigarette packaging require only a written warning.

 Already 450.000 Americans die prematurely from smoking and other 8 million suffer chronic disease. Therefore, the principal goal of the new action is to bring the smoking rate down to 12 percent by 2020.

Comment: Every time, authorities make new measures to try to reduce cigarette consuming, but they aren't enough and every year thousands of people die about smoking. I hope this new measure be efficient and make people aware about risk of nicotine.
