Philip Morris sues S.Korea over e-cigarette info disclosure

SEOUL, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Philip Morris Korea Inc. said on Monday it has filed a lawsuit against the South Korean government, demanding the disclosure of information on a recent test that concluded electronic cigarettes contain harmful substances.

The company said the government study wrongly centred on tar, which is only applicable to smoke created by regular cigarettes, while the electronic devices do not generate smoke.

"Due to the focus on tar, the ministry's study resulted in encouraging customers to stick to conventional cigarettes instead of choosing products that contain sharply lower levels of harmful compounds," Brian Kim, corporate affairs director of the tobacco maker, said in a statement.
