On Sept. 4 a Miami jury rejected a similar claim by former American Airlines flight attendant who suffers from sinus problems. Two other suits resulted in a decision favoring tobacco and a mistrial.
STING!
Someone needs to tell us why from a legal perspective there cannot be limits or compensatory damages.
