: How Appealing"Court Allows Suit Against 'Light' Cigarette Makers; Companies Face Huge Liabilities Over Marketing"
Today in The Los Angeles Times, David G. Savage reports that "Supreme Court lets smokers sue over 'light' cigarettes; The justices rule that tobacco companies can be sued by smokers who claim they were deceived about health risks; The decision allows class-action suits to proceed in several states."
In USA Today, Joan Biskupic reports that "Court splits 5-4 on 'light' cigarettes; Case targets claims of deceptive marketing on labels, not health issues."
In The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin reports that "Altria Case Deals Blow to Efforts Reining In Lawsuits."
And in commentary, The New York Times contains an editorial entitled "Big Loss for Big Tobacco."
