Description
PHILLIPS, Chief Judge. This appeal is from a judgment dismissing the complaint in a suit filed as a class action by eight Kentucky tobacco growers. The complaint sought to enjoin broadcasting by the defendant television network companies of ""messages by television which in words or substance state either directly, indirectly or by innuendo that cigarettes will kill people who smoke them."" (Referred to herein as ""anti-smoke commercials."") No effort is made by plaintiffs to enjoin broadcasts of messages which are limited in scope to the idea that cigarette smoking may be hazardous to one's health. We affirm the order dismissing the complaint.
