For now, I&#8217;ll try to quickly recap some of the industry&#8217;s position, as expressed by Michael Carvin in the first 1/2 hour of argument. This is by no means a complete recap of the issues.

Justice Alito told Hallward-Driemeier that he found the government&#8217;s position &#8220;incomprehensible&#8221; if the FTC tar/nicotine figures are meaningless.
&#8220;You created this whole problem,&#8221; Justice Alito told him. [...]]]></description>
