Well, if those people had not been successful in their suits against the tobacco companies, this kind of lawsuit probably would not be happening. I agree that smoking increases the incidence of various diseases, but the tobacco companies never forced anyone to smoke.

I'm surprised someone hasn't sued automobile manufacturers becuase people die in car wrecks. "If your company had put warning labels on cars such as 'Warning: Driving or Riding in a Car May Result in Death' then my family member would still be alive" or some such nonsense. This suit is just a publicity stunt and another example of someone not wanting to accept the consequences of their own actions. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]
