Abstract

The only plaintiffs in product-liability lawsuits against tobacco companies who have been awarded damages are the family of Rose Cipollone in Cipollone v. Liggett Group. Rose Cipollone started smoking cigarettes in 1942. After developing lung cancer in 1982, she and her husband Antonio filed a lawsuit against several tobacco companies for damages. A jury awarded Antonio $400,000 in damages in 1988 despite the ruling that Rose Cipollone was 80% at fault for her illness. The jury based the award on the fact that the Liggett Group failed its obligation to warn against the health hazards of smoking before 1966. After 1966, tobacco companies were required by federal law to warn consumers about the health hazards of smoking. The jury's decision was reversed by an appeals court, and the case went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court decided that individuals with smoking-associated illnesses can sue tobacco companies despite the warnings on cigarette packages.

Abstract

Liability litigation for injury claims from environmental tobacco smoke, and the issue of the tobacco industry's duty to warn of health threats, should be based on a public law approach. This would solve the problems of the indeterminate plaintiff and indeterminate defendant by calculating damages based on attributable risk and market share. Preemption of failure to warn claims was found in Cipollone v. Liggett Group Inc, but this should be overcome by proof of causation.
