1) While what I read didn’t actually say this, but it seems to me that to prove it, it had to “prove a negative”, which we all know is extremely difficult.
2) I subscribe to the right path being “the road Les traveled”… ☺
3) Everyone doesn’t agree, Lennie. Bring their uncaring butts down!
3. These lawsuits have pretty much stopped, right? It’s getting harder for lawyers to find people who started smoking before they started printing the messages on the packs…
Don’t know who this “everyone” that you refer to is. Certainly not the many juries who heard the evidence and found against the tobacco companies. And at least two reasons that were prominent in the evidence: first it was proven Big Tobacco made cigarettes more addictive than in their natural state, and second BT misled the public by financing fake studies that minimized the dangers of tobacco and deep sixed studies that showed the danger. The suits were brought by states who bore the public health cost of tobacco addiction – over $300 billion annually.
