This video opens on a man building something in his workshop. He is wearing protective goggles as he carefully measures and cuts wood using a power saw. Carefully he continues to hammer at something; viewers can hear more sawing, cutting, and more hammering. He uses a power sander; then pauses. He struggles to breathe; rubs his chest and coughs harshly. He hammers in one last nail; stands up to look down at his creation. The camera pans to the object he has been working on – a large, homemade coffin. The man looks into it and coughs again. He then pulls out a cigarette, looks at it—and then at the coffin. The voice over announcer says, “Every cigarette you smoke shortens your life by 11 minutes. It’s not too late to build a better future. For help quitting, visit Way To Quit dot org.” In the last scene the man throws the cigarettes away and the announcer says, “Don’t be next. It’s not too late to build a better future. Learn how to quit at waytoquit.org.”

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act requires FDA to include new warning labels on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertisements. On June 22, 2011, FDA published a final rule requiring color graphics depicting the negative health consequences of smoking to accompany the nine new textual warning statements. However, the final rule was challenged in court by several tobacco companies, and on August 24, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the rule and remanded the matter to the Agency. On December 5, 2012, the Court denied the government’s petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc. The government decided not to seek further review of the Court’s ruling.
