I have to be honest and originally bought the brand I smoke because of their constant advertising about its extremely low tar and nicotine numbers. People that have had one of mine call it 'air'.
I can't handle full-out cigs. They burn my throat and I can actually get dizzy off them. That being said, the ones I smoke are no less addictive, low nicotine notwithstanding.
My last lung xray-two years ago, was clear, but my gastroenterologist claims I have what 'could' be the start of emphysema. Scare tactic? Maybe. Not a real good one, though. Although I am trying to quit, I'm not doing it fast enough.
Would I sue or have my survivors sue? No. This isn't the only choice I've made with negative consequences and probably won't be my last. And that's the key word-CHOICE. No one should be suing because some choice they made wasn't a good one.
