How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that the Tobacco Inspection Act, which imposed uniform standards of classification and inspection of tobacco sold at auction, preempted the field and left no room for the Georgia Tobacco Identification Act, which also imposed tobacco classification regulations
explaining that when Congress establishes a uniform, interstate standard, it reflects the exclusive means of regulation rather than a floor from which states may implement supplemental regulation
finding a state law preempted because the federal law does not allow even “complementary” or “supplemental]” state requirements
state law requiring labeling of certain strains of tobacco held preempted by the federal Tobacco Inspection Act
where state regulation is preempted, even regulations intended to complement the federal scheme are preempted
need for uniformity in official standards requires invalidation of state laws which do not conflict with, but merely supplement, federal statutes
