"As a clinician who treats patients with severe lung disease caused by tobacco use, I thank the court for refusing to hear Big Tobacco's challenge to the law requiring graphic warning labels on all cigarette packaging. Warning labels work - they reduce tobacco initiation and help people take the first step to quit tobacco use. The onus now is on the Food and Drug Administration to implement effective graphic warning labels on all cigarette packaging." - Hasmeena Kathuria MD, ATSF Chair, Tobacco Action Committee, American Thoracic Society Director, University of Wisconsin Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention (UW-CTRI) https://lnkd.in/e55xc-Gk
