Canadaâs highest court upheld a law limiting tobacco advertising, ruling that although the restrictions limited the rights of cigarette companies to free speech the curbs were justified by the need to improve public health. The Supreme Court judges said there was nothing wrong with the 1997 law that banned broadcast commercials and advertising aimed at young people and that obliged companies to put large graphic warning labels on cigarette packages. Canadaâs three big tobacco companies had argued the limitations unfairly infringed their right of free expression. But in a unanimous decision, the court said the need to protect public health took precedence.
