The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in San Francisco's favor over an ordinance that blocks sales of cigarettes at the city's drug stores. Counsel for Philip Morris had argued that the city law violates the company's First Amendment right to advertise its product. The 9th Circuit upheld a district court ruling that the ordinance doesn't infringe on the company's freedom of expression since it limits where cigarettes can be sold and doesn't prevent Philip Morris from advertising.
