Today’s High Court decision has ruled that tobacco companies can no longer challenge Australia’s plain packaging laws on cigarettes, which will be introduced on December 1st. The Government is proclaiming victory, but tobacco companies aren’t giving in just yet.
Despite a ruling from Australia’s highest court, tobacco companies still believe there is a way out; that plain packaging will be a failure and that Governments cannot go without the $8 billion worth of funding that cigarette companies provide. Is this claim the smoking gun, or just an empty threat?
