Non-Smokers' Rights Association v. Belaubre, et al., Case No 0718608050, Court of First Instance - Paris (2008).
The Non-Smokers’ Rights Association (DNF) brought suit against "Cigare et Sensations" magazine and its director alleging that the magazine published statements that claimed that consumption of tobacco products lends itself to a particularly pleasant way of life. The magazine however maintained that it was a trade publication and had requested to belong to the list of professional magazines allowed to insert tobacco advertising. The Court held the magazine not liable for unlawfully advertising tobacco products.
