What happened
In the years after the 1964 report, the United States required health warning labels on cigarette packs (from 1966) and banned cigarette advertising on television and radio (effective January 1971).
Why it matters
These were among the first major government restrictions on tobacco marketing, and a template for tobacco control laws worldwide.
