OPINION
DIETZEN, Judge.
Appellants challenge the district court’s order dismissing their claims, arguing (1) the claims are not expressly preempted by the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (FCLAA); and (2) the claims are not implicitly preempted by Federal Trade Commission (FTC) oversight of tar and nicotine claims in cigarette advertising. Because the district court erred in concluding that appellants’ claims are expressly preempted by the FCLAA, and because we conclude that they are not implicitly preempted, we reverse and remand.
