They are of course appealing...while I am no fan of RJR, the jury award was a bit much to say the least....expect the judgement to be lowered considerably on appeal...

Huh?
Lemme get this straight.

Variations on the theme of "We're all adults so let us make our own decisions." are the norm when railing against any form of government regulations regarding vaping. Or for that matter any other personal pursuit currently threatened by our nanny state culture.

All of us that chose to smoke did so willingly didn't we?
Nobody held a gun to our collective heads and forced us to smoke. Didn't to me at any rate.

Regardless any evidence that may exist of tobacco management knowingly downplaying the effects of smoking you can't honestly think that smokers didn't know that they/we weren't willingly killing ourselves with each puff.

I do not support big tobaccos action with respect to vaping. Hate em' for the actions they're taking in that regard, silly twits they are.
But I also think applauding punitive actions against big tobacco is completely out of line for folks that want to be considered adult and left alone to make their own decisions.

Goin' back under muh rock now
