The Surgeon General recommended warnings on cigarettes because smoking cigarettes is extremely hazardous to the health of a citizen. Among the Surgeon General's responsibilities is to monitor national health issues and report significant hazards to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Cigarette smoking and the exposure of others to so called "second hand smoke" is a major health risk. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. As an aside but on a related note, the Surgeon General reports on homicides of young black men because it is a significant health risk. Little morbidity data escapes the attention of the CDC. That's why we pay them. They're pretty good at what they do. A link is provided to the Surgeon General's page, and you can review warnings there as well as link to related areas of information.
