Graphic cigarette warning labels blocked by judge

According to the Washington Post, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon ruled that the FDA has to wait to instill the new cigarette box graphics until further review by the courts. He believes that the graphics will have detrimental effects on the business of cigarette manufacturers. The tobacco companies rejoiced in the decision to delay the FDA's new graphics and warnings. Many associations against smoking have made it very clear in saying the case should be appealed. I like the information from this source and will most likey use it in my research paper.
