Labels on tobacco packages are effective and cost-effective in warning about the dangers of smoking, as they carry a direct message to both those who smoke and those who only see the packages. The law requires manufacturers to mark packs with these signs and that the message is clear, direct, visible and that it describes the specific illnesses and harmful effects caused by smoking. Countries such as Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, among others, even require graphic representations of diseases and show photos of affected people or organs. Furthermore, labels are not allowed to include any indication that a certain tobacco product is less harmful than others. The reason for this is that there are no safe cigarettes.

Using very harsh images on cigarette packs is an increasingly widespread trend in the world.
