I’ve have been diagnosed with COPD. I’m on 4 types of inhalers. I started smoking st the age of 16 I am now 50. On Advisability. This is the hardest habit to quit. Do I qualify for this class action lawsuit against the tobacco company or is it to late?

my mother passed away in jan, 2012 of copd she was on oxygen for almost 4 years and i took care of her , she stopped smoking but in nov. 2010 she started again but only taking a hit here and there she never went over four smokes a day.. all the meds they had her on even when she didn’t smoke didn’t help her and to make things worse sleeping pill ambien she had been on for almost 10 years i hear now is back in the spot light . my mother was 62 very close to her grandchildren theres nothing i could do to bring her back but i do know that if it was post way back what was in her cigarettes she would’ve never smoked them ….

I was wondering if there are any lawsuits still open for Theophyline, I had this medicine as a young child and have issues from it. I am just wondering, thanks!

I am 49 yrs. old and have smoked 34 years. most of those years I smoked methold cigs. I also worked in the construction industry with different types of acids, and different types of chemicals used for cleaning surfaces to be sealed with different types of caulking. I also worked with minor brick repairs that required grinding, and was not provided with a face mask. I was diagnoised whit copd about 5 years. the companys that I worked for are now out of business, also I worked with fire proofing that was the same as fiber glass insulation. is there anything that I can do to be compensated for this against the companys tha t I worked for or tobacco company or is it to late? none of the doctors that I have told about working with the different chemicals , fumes, fiberglass and dust will not say anything accept stop smoking and that my lungs are so black that you cant tell whats gong on

ve been around all different chemicals, Starch , Asbestos, and developed COPD and had to retire, I loved my Job and wanted to stay, But they said no, I was a Mechanic and then a Manager. I can say that we had a bad Starch leak for 3 months and production was more important then our health, Would I qualify for a Law Suit, I was making good money and now I have to live off a long term disability, and Social Security and my Disability runs out when I turn 65 1 1/2 years from now. I think they should have to pay for exposing me to all the stuff that causes cancer and COPD.

My husband has COPD and was put on Theophylline ER 200 mg 3 times daily back in January 2016. He started having trouble swallowing in Feb. and it has gotten worse. He has lost 58 lbs since January. I told him to stop taking the pills. We told his lung doctor about it and they decided to have him to stop it also. I have talked to some other doctors and have found out that this has been pulled off the market a number of times in the past. My husband is still having trouble eating and keeping food down. They are going to run a upper GI as soon as they can get him worked in. What I want to know is could this Theophylline have been causing the problem?
