A federal appeals court Monday largely upheld the U.S. government's authority to regulate tobacco products, including requirements for stronger, graphic warnings on cigarette packs.

The decision by the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Cincinnati, backed most of a decision by a lower court in Kentucky. That court had ruled that most provisions of a 2009 law giving the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco were legal and didn't violate tobacco companies' free-speech rights. The decision also upheld the lower-court ruling favoring the tobacco industry, allowing the use of color in tobacco advertising to continue.
