The impact of strengthening cigarette pack warnings: systematic review of longitudinal observational studies. U. s. cigarette smoking causes about 1 in 5 deaths overall more than 480,000 deaths per year. Recently, narrative reviews of the cigarette pack warnings literature have suggested that cigarette pack warnings can be effective in promoting smoking cessation (especially when warnings are large, prominent, full color, and use graphic images) But what we need now are reviews that systematically locate and synthesize the evidence, to comprehensively evaluate the impact of warnings and warning policies. This literature examines the pre-post impact of national implementation of strengthened warnings: strengthened warnings: Where countries implement improvements to text warnings, implement pictorial warnings, or improve pictorial warnings.
