For years, smokers and their families have been filing lawsuits against tobacco companies for producing addictive products and concealing hazards from the public. Generally, tobacco lawsuits are pursued as negligence and products liability claims. If an individual plaintiff can prove that they have suffered nicotine addiction, which has led to a smoking-related illness or disease, he or she may be able to file a lawsuit against the responsible tobacco company.
