Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act

The Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act is a U.S. law enacted in 1965 that aims to inform consumers about the health risks of smoking. It requires cigarette packages to carry warning labels and bans misleading advertising that downplays health dangers. The law also restricts advertising methods that target youth and mandates truthful, non-misleading information about cigarette health effects. Overall, it seeks to reduce smoking-related health issues by providing clearer warnings and limiting misleading promotion.
