When did they find out that smoking is bad for you?
In 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General released the first report on the health effects of smoking [5]. After reviewing more than 7,000 articles in the medical literature, the Surgeon General concluded that smoking caused lung cancer and bronchitis.
When did cigarettes start having warnings?
Health warnings have long appeared on cigarette packages but are far from adequate today to inform people about the health harms of cigarette smoking. These warnings first appeared on cigarette packages in 1966 and were most recently updated in 1984.
