High Court strikes down ban on tobacco ads in Canada
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled 6 4 that the Tobacco Products Control Act of 1988 violates free expression by banning almost all tobacco advertising. Limited restrictions may remain, but a total ban blocks communication with customers about a legal product. Industry and health officials responded with measured tone and continued debate on future restrictions.
