Usage Note
Advertencia ranges from a mild notice (advertencia legal = 'legal disclaimer') to a firm warning that action will follow if behaviour continues. The verb is advertir (irregular, like sentir: advierto, advirtió). Unlike aviso, which is more neutral ('notice, announcement'), advertencia always carries a cautionary or threatening tone.
Examples
"El médico hizo una advertencia sobre el tabaco."
Natural Translation
The doctor issued a warning about tobacco.
