The Federal Court has ruled that a news segment reporting on imported cigarettes has breached strict tobacco advertising rules.
Channel 7 Adelaide broadcast the news segment on 18 July 2010, entitled “Cheap Cigarette Imports”, which the Australian Communications and Media Authority initially said breached the Channel’s licensing conditions prohibiting tobacco advertising.
The Federal Court has ruled that the news segment: “promotes (in the sense of advancing or encouraging) smoking and the purchase or use of tobacco products, as well as giving publicity to those matters.”
