The flippin Feds need to pass legislation to terminate these ambulance chasers' flippin lawsuits against the tobacco industry.
That this is even news speaks volumes about our society.
Hey you know, it says on a bottle of Drano that drinking the bottle will cause extensive internal damage, but you know what? I`m gonna drink it anyway and sue the company.
That ANYBODY should be able to bring any one of these lawsuits to trial is beyond the beyond in my comprehension. I mean what did this guy think, "Hey Bud, smoking causes cancer"..."No way, for real?"
I mean what are we going on now, the 40th year since the surgeon general determined smoking kills? And this guy is trying to put off that he had no clue?
By the way, I smoke 2 packs a day. Not kidding, Marlboros. I`m 42 years old and if I get cancer I will only blame myself. My lung feels great.
Excellent news! People should not sue and profit because of their own (or in this case, their relative's) stupidity.

Since the 60's their has been a disclaimer on every pack of cigarettes sold in America!
Great news! Warnings have been on cigarette packs since the 1960's. And even before that, they were commonly referred to as "cancer sticks" or "coffin nails".
Anyone who claims to have not known the danger is - not to be as nasty as I want to be - not very bright.
This lawyer needs to be sanctioned.
Loser pays.............anyone?????
One old song from the forties was
Smoke, smoke that cigarette
Smoke until you smoke to death
My grandfather called cigarettes "cancer sticks" when I was a tiny girl...and I'm 64. That was many years before any warnings were printed on cigarette packs. Nice try, but no cigar.
