The path to Australia's tobacco health warnings
Open accessAbstract
Australia introduced new health warnings and contents labelling on cigarettes and other tobacco products from January 1995. The changes were based on recommendations emerging from research commissioned for that purpose. The research demonstrated the need for changes, that changes could increase the noticeability of the warnings and contribute to an increase in relevant knowledge, and that the changes were acceptable to the public. The tobacco industry fought the changes and some modifications resulted, but new stronger warnings with elaborations on the back of the pack, an information number to call and elaborated contents labelling have been implemented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
