Several rulings by the Paris Court of Appeal have been issued in recent weeks regarding proceedings initiated by the National Committee Against Smoking. They all reinforce judgments of conviction against manufacturers and distributors of tobacco products.<\/p>\n

Two decisions dated December 20, 2019, concerned cigarette packs. One involved the insertion of stickers into packs of the "Fortuna" brand (Imperial \u2013 SEITA) and the second involved limited-edition collector packs of the "Che" brand (Landewyck). The Court of Appeal upheld the defendants' conviction for using the packaging as an advertising medium. The judges even extended the notion of advertising to the affixing of certain ecological pictograms.<\/p>\n

These procedures were initiated before the generalization of neutral packaging in France on 1er<\/sup> January 2017. They emphasize that despite a decision of principle by the Court of Cassation (Crim., May 3, 2006, \u201cWinfield\u201d ruling) prohibiting the use of packets as a means of communicating with consumers, tobacco manufacturers continued to offer such attractive packaging until the introduction of plain packaging.<\/p>\n

A more recent decision, rendered on 22 January 2020 by the same Court, also upheld the conviction of cigar manufacturer Dannemann and distributor Logista. The trial judges convicted packs of cigars of the \u201cMoods\u201d brand with numerous promotional statements. This is in fact the third procedure brought against the manufacturer, for the same offences, having already been judged by the courts. Thus, despite these previous convictions, the manufacturer continued to place irregular packs on the market, as plain packs had not been imposed on cigars until now.<\/p>\n
