　　France’s Health Minister called on Thursday for the Justice Ministry (司法部) to act immediately against a major advertising campaign by the U. S. Tobacco from Philip Morris.

　　The ads which have run for weeks in French newspapers compare the dangers of breathing in second-hand smoke to eating biscuits, drinking milk and putting pepper on food.

　　Health Minister Herve Gaymard has written to justice Minister Toubon for an early ruling on the ads, the Health Minister said in a statement. Gaymard scolded the campaign after a Paris court on Tuesday banned part of the advertising after a complaint (投诉) by French biscuit makers. 'The law of 10 January, 1991 bans all direct or indirect advertising for tobacco. “This advertising is no good at all to public health because it carries a message tending to deny the harmful effects of passive smoking, ”the Health Minister said.

　　Philip Morris said on Wednesday it would appeal (上诉) against the court's decision. “We were surprised and shocked by the decision in France”, said David Grenbergfrom Philip Morris on Wednesday.

　　The Paris court said it would fine the company one million francs (200, 000 US dollars) for being against the ban. The court found the advertisements“very harmful”to the interests of biscuit makers in France. The court also held that the campaign promoted tobacco in being against the public health law.

　　Comparative advertising and advertising for tobacco are illegal in France. In its statement on Wednesday, Philip Morris said the biscuit makers misunderstood their message. “Our campaign simply makes the point that too often a scientist’s study is poorly explained to exaggerate (夸张) risks, when in fact no meaningful risk may be found on the basis of the findings reported in the study, ”the statement said.
