Reynolds Tobacco Company, Lorillard Tobacco Company, and Commonwealth Brands, Inc. (the second, third, and fourth  largest tobacco manufacturers in the U.S., respectively), and a retailer of tobacco products have sued FDA in a Kentucky district court, alleging that certain provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Act) violate their First Amendment right to engage in commercial speech, among other constitutional violations.  (A copy of the complaint is available <A href="http://www.fdalawblog.net/files/tobacco-lawsuit-v-fda-august-2009.pdf">here</A>.)  Plaintiffs ask the court to enjoin FDA from enforcing the challenged provisions of the Tobacco Act.  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CABD10CE-C914-489F-A05D-6F4397B88A89/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
