Gwynn's family sues tobacco company

I believe the tobacco products said TOBACCO on them somewhere.

Cigarettes,  snuff, and e-cigarettes are all dangerous.

My ex-wife's uncle was a doctor and I asked him if cigarettes were known to be dangerous before the surgeon general's report, warning signs on packaging, etc and he said Yes.

For many tobacco use is fashionable.  I think it starts to be, then becomes a habit.
