My mother, 83 years of age, is dying a slow and miserable death due to emphasema caused by cigarette smoking. Her body and mind is so addicted to the nicotine that she can’t stop smoking even now that she has to be on oxygen almost all the time. I just finished a research paper on cigarette smoking. The cigarette companies for years have intised and frauded people into picking up the habit only to make sure that they hooked them by increasing nicotine levels even in their so called “light cigarettes”. There is not one good thing that comes from cigarettes and I am shocked that the government doesn’t shut these cunning murderess companies down once and for all. They stalk their prey and call it marketing stradegies.After my research, I no longer blame my mother for her addiction. I place the blame where it belongs; directly on the tobacco manufacturers and promoters.

Why do we have juries if judges will allow those jury members to sit for 2 long years and render a verdict that they can overturn? Why not just have judges? It’s amazing how little alal this time and effort meant to this panel of 3 judges.

As an ex-smoker I wholeheartedly agree with the court’s decision. Wkhy can’t a juror see the part the individual played? Why bankrupt an entire nation because people don’t won’t to own up to their part in their health issues. Good job. Let’s hope the SC don’t be stupid and overturn the state’s decision.
