What a joke, it is amazing how people look for easy money.. This has to be rank and the most ridiculous lawsuit ever. People know that cigarretes are dangerous and yet they continue to smoke.. We are smart enough that any chemicals we inhale or consume are toxic to our health..I drink and I know that alcohol is poison to my liver, but I am not going to turn tomorrow and file a lawsuit against the alcohol companies..

i had surgery for pvd this spring. this is a diease so painful i wouldn!t wish it on my worst enemy. caused by smoking for over 50 yrs, but cig companies dont tell you this. next step i am told is amputation of both legs. cig companies told us how good they were when i started smoking. have tried chantix and every other stop smoking device to no avail. anyone who has had pvd, can tell you about the pain getting to the point where you can only sleep about 30 min before waking up screaming with pain.

This is to “Marcus’ and ” Kelly . Look at the evidence. Yes they did smoke but they we lied to. The cigs co put things in there product from what i read. Look at the evindence not the $$$$$ that is in the claims. Money will never replace the lost love ones. I know i am there and been there for many a year.

This is PATHETIC. People need to take personal responsibility for the decisions they make. So, do I sue Nestle’s for the fact that I never knew that chocolate would make me fat????

This lawsuit is stupid Did the Company force her to start smoking? did thay force her to continue? this is just another example of people not wanting to take responsibility for there own actions millions of people stop smoking daily you would think that when she noticed the negative affects of smoking in her 25 years of smoking she would have stopped. this is the same as if i load a gun and shoot my foot off then sue the gun maker for pain and suffering.

How does one know if a case or claim has legal merit for pain and suffering damages?

my father’s death was qualified to participate in the engle trust settlement, but because the trust failed to contact us, we were not included in any settlement payouts

i am interested in filing an individual suit and am seeking representation
