It's not just the warning labels, as your graph shows they were merely the initial step in a full court press against smoking by the government, society and media.
I'm surprised smoking hasn't disappeared entirely given that onslaught - testament to the power of nicotine addiction.
Now studies are starting to find long term inhalation of marijuana smoke causes the same kind of lung problems as long term inhalation of tobacco smoke. I wonder if in another 60 years we'll have a similar full court press against pot?
On the other hand, the CA cancer warning signs are so ubiquitous that they've disappeared into the noise. And since many if not all of the products have positive benefits, there has been little or no corresponding media or societial pressure to remove them from the marketplace.
