Out of curiosity, were the warnings broadcast by government decree or by
voluntary (perhaps preemptive) participation of the station?

Maybe it should have played continuously on a looping subliminal track! 8^)
Seriously, I would think that the beginning and end, and maybe once or
twice during the broadcast proper would be sufficient. As you say, 1570
doesn't really have a huge teenage listening audience, so I'm not sure who
they're trying to "save."
As long as the government has a vested interest in keeping medical costs
down (in that the gov't subsidizes a huge amount of medical care through
public funding) it is not unreasonable for the gov't to try to protect its
investment by reducing the number of tobacco-related ailments it has to
subsidize. This is nominally the argument behind a lot of pro-motorcycle
helmet legislation. Your point remains, though, that such efforts can
quickly become overwhelming to the point of farce.
Dave!
