Australia's highest court on Wednesday dismissed a challenge from global cigarette companies to a new law requiring cigarettes and tobacco products to be sold in plain, olive green packets. Packages must display graphic health warnings including pictures of mouth cancer and other smoking-related illnesses. Tobacco giants British American Tobacco, Britain’s Imperial Tobacco, Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco had challenged the laws.
