Tobacco Giant Sues Australia Over New Law


Philip Morris has sued the Australian government over the passing of a new law that requires all cigarettes to have the same plain packaging: olive-brown with health warnings atop.

According to Philip Morris Asia (PMA), the law is a breach of a bilateral investment treaty that is going to cut their profits and see the market flooded with fake brands. However, while the tobacco industry is "fighting to protect its profits, we are fighting to protect lives", says the Australian Minister for Health Nicola Roxon.
