I want to make this as clear as I possibly can. I am a smoker. I knew better but still picked up the habit. I don’t blame the Big Tobacco industry, but I do feel that they are possibly the most evil corporations out there, along with Big Oil and Big Pharma.
That said, this does not sound at all like Big T’s fault
The plaintiffs had alleged that those who used “light cigarettes” unknowingly ended up getting just as much tar and nicotine because they inhaled more frequently to compensate.
That complaint description (if accurate) sounds an awful lot to me like someone suing the makers of diet candy because they ended up eating twice as much.

This makes me happy. I remember, in Cambridge, noticing the interest rates on this crap and wondering how that could be a refund. Then NPR did a thing on people who were desperate and taking these loans (and thats what they are) because they simply couldn’t get by without the money.
Jerry Brown Takes On H&R Block - News Story - KNTV | San Francisco
Just as “rapid refund” time has come for millions of taxpayers, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Monday H&R Block is in fact duping its customers.
Brown said customers are not getting “rapid refunds,” but rather a high-priced loan, with interest rates of 80 percent or higher.
