With the World Health Organization warning that tobacco-related deaths could soar to eight billion a year by 2030, nations around the world are getting serious about their efforts to rein in tobacco use. In addition to levying tobacco taxes and putting bans on cigarette sales to minors, they're creating graphic new labels for use in cigarette advertising and on cigarette packages. And the labels (like the one from Hong Kong, shown left) feature shocking photos depicting the dangers of tobacco use, including dead bodies, gangrenous limbs, and gruesome tumors.
