or drinking and driving accidents? Niether of the industries hold guns to our head yet we persecute one and not the other. I am in no way an advocate for suing anyone.

According to http://www.jointogether.org/news/headlines/inthenews/2004/suits-accuse-alcohol-industry.html
there have been suits against the liquor industry but they will probably not result in a settlement

What's worse is the people who sue fast food restaurants for making them fat. That really pisses me off. Some people really should be shot.

I would hope so. As a child I suffered so many respiratory illnesses that cleared up once I moved away from home (where I was the only non-smoker). My X-rays show scarring from all of the pneumonias and bronchitis I suffered while living in that environment. Unfortunately now, from all that damage, I am more suseptable to pnemonia when I get the flu or even a cold. Also, what about the women who smoked during pregnancy - My mom smoked the whole time she was pregnant with me and I was born way too early and only 3 lbs. My heart and kidneys also did not develop properly - so I am frequently hospitalized due to these congential defects. I would love to sue...I remember as a kid seeing ads with pregnant women glamorously smoking Virginia Slims. Thanks, cigarette pushers. My quality of life has sucked because of my exposure to other people's smoking!

Drinking has been around a lot longer than smoking. It's more engrained in the social fabric. That's about the best I can think of.

I am so sick of people getting down on people who smoke but yet drinking yourself to death and killing others in drunk driving accidents is ok. they need to lay off smokers and deal with the more serious issue at hand

good question. why don't you get something started in your home town with a petiion or class suit of your own. If you talk to people honestly, and have a genuine concern, they will follow you

I believe that you may enjoy the book "Big Fat Liars" by Morris E. Chafetz, which addresses this issue in some depth.

Have we seen class action lawsuits against Bud and Miller?
