Artifact Overview
This 1964 report from the U.S. Surgeon General's office was the first to link tobacco smoking with serious health problems, including lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and heart disease. The report's findings were widely covered in the media and contributed to the passage of the 1965 Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, which required health warnings on cigarette ads and packaging.
