In 2009, Congress passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act,
granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the ability to regulate the
tobacco industry. One provision directed FDA to require large, graphic warning labels
on cigarette packaging. A few years later, however, tobacco companies challenged
proposed FDA warnings on First Amendment grounds. These warnings, based on
Canadian counterparts, featured graphic imagery, such as an illustration of a
cigarette-smoking man exhaling through a tracheotomy hole. A federal district judge
agreed, and an appeals court upheld the ruling, which asserted that the warnings
violated cigarette makers' free speech rights.
The tobacco companies' suit, and the court rulings, were an example of a matter of
law becoming a matter of _______ law.
A) administrative; civil
B)administrative; public
C)criminal; regulatory
D)common; public
