What a country to live in where it is acceptable to sell a pperson a product that is known to kill 500,000 plus people a year, but that same person would be scolded for using/smoking marijuana (which has no death rate). This is why the term “pro-life” means nothing. Because the people claiming to be so are inconsistent in their views on which life is sacred.

Please be respectful of the deceased and his family. They don’t deserve any negative comments.

As long as there is money to be made, whether it has morals or not, these types of lawsuits will continue. Remember the cup of coffee, from McDonalds, spilled in the lap?

It makes sense this guy would not know smoking is very dangerous/
since he was living in a cave the last 27 years.
Oh wait.
Personal responsibility is foreign concept to many

What a country. Knowingly destory your body and get paid for it. Everyone knows smoking is bad for your lungs. You do it by choice.

First all the states were on board with the massive suit because THEY got money. Where is that money? Now and then I see a PSA, but the states, Florida for one, don’t do much of anything remotely near smoking cessation.

Second does ANYONE know a smoker who is not aware of the damages smoking does? Since 1964, over FIFTY years, the pork laden governments don’t REALLY want to outlaw cigarettes. Publicly sure, but the states collect hundreds of BILLION money via tax.

If I sued every time someone in my family died from something they did to themselves over the years I would be billionaire.
