"It is great news that the Federal Food and Drug Administration is following New York City's lead and introducing hard-hitting educational campaigns in its effort to help people quit smoking. The pictures of what smoking does to your body are very graphic - and accurate. Our education campaigns in New York City are an important reason why the number of New Yorkers who smoke is at an all-time low, and I want to congratulate FDA administrator and former New York City health commissioner Margaret Hamburg for her bold policy that will save Americans' lives."
