led to the 1965 Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, which required that all cigarette packages bear the Surgeon General’s Warning: “Caution: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health.” The first report focused on the link between smoking and lung cancer and was followed by a series of reports linking smoking to heart disease (U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare [USDHEW] 1967) and low birth weight (USDHEW 1969), and describing the risks of secondhand smoke for vulnerable populations (USDHEW 1973). These efforts led to the 1971 Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act, which banned the advertising of cigarettes on both television and radio.
