Thanks to a 2009 law that gives the FDA the authority to regulate the marketing and labeling of tobacco products, we're going to start seeing some graphic new labels on packs of cigarettes. The FDA has proposed 36 different labels which range from the comical to the horrifying and could start appearing on your Marlboros as early as next fall. Not that you can buy or smoke cigarettes anywhere in San Francisco, but we could see this being a nice conversation piece the next time you're sitting out by the portajohns at Zeitgeist.
