Washington, UNITED STATES: In this 22 February file photo, volunteers with the Smokefree Movies Action Network protest outside the Washington headquarters of the Motion Picture Association of America. The tobacco industry can breathe easier after a US federal judge issued a stinging ruling into its lies about cigarettes but failed to impose punitive damages, analysts said 18 August, 2006. Shares in the big tobacco companies such as Altria, the parent group of Marlboro maker Philip Morris, jumped in initial trading following the release late 17 August of the 1,683-page opinion by Washington judge Gladys Kessler. Ruling on a lawsuit filed in 1999 by the US Department of Justice, Kessler ordered a ban from next January on the use of terms such as "light", "low tar" and "mild" on cigarette packets. But she prompted an outcry from campaigners by rejecting government demands for "Big Tobacco" to fund a 10-billion-dollar stop-smoking campaign. Nor did she agree to forbid cigarette advertising in motor sports. AFP PHOTO/TIM SLOAN/FILES Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
