The nation's first foray into WTO litigation follows similar actions by Ukraine, Honduras and Dominican Republic over the restrictive marketing polices set by Australia for the tobacco industry. Legal squabbling in the WTO can last for years, which could help sellers such as Imperial Tobacco (ITYBY.PK), British American Tobacco (BTI), Reynolds American (RAI), Lorillard (LO), Altria (MO), and Philip Morris (PM) from seeing the plain-packaging laws hop around the globe. 3 Comments [Consumer, Global & FX]

Minnesota in particular, where nearly 16% of the population still smokes, the governor is seeking to boost the state cigarette tax rate to a new rate of $2.83 per pack, a move which is being lauded across the board by anti-smoking advocates. 23 Comments [Healthcare, Consumer, U.S. Economy]
