Cigarette Companies Appeal Smokers

Smoking is one of those bad habits that can seem impossible to break. Now, the courts are working their hardest to get compensation for smokers. A Fort Lauderdale court awarded $75 million to the family of a deceased cigarette smoker this week. Mrs. Calloway blamed cigarette companies for her husband's death in 1992 and now the cigarette companies have to pay. The Philip Morris, J. Reynolds, Lorillard and Liggett cigarette companies can appeal verdicts and they are often able to reduce damage awards from the court. Cigarette cases are tried individually, and the Calloway case is just one of thousands in the state of Florida. Back in 2006 the Supreme Court discarded a class action verdict worth $145 billion. The ruling states that smokers just need to prove that they were addicted to cigarettes and that they were the cause of death.
