The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the government agency which regulates food, drugs — and tobacco -- has released new health warnings for U.S. cigarette packs. The warnings consist of graphic photos and messages, which must cover half of each cigarette package and make up 20 percent of each tobacco ad.  Health experts note that the United States was the first country to require health warnings on tobacco but is now playing catch-up with more than 30 countries which have already made such warnings mandatory. As VOA’s Vidushi Sinha reports, they say the new mandate is long overdue.
