Courts stamp of the industry allegations regarding Light cigarettes.
The tobacco companies have marketed “light” cigarettes as an alternative healthier and more secure market regular cigarettes for years. But people say they smoke “lights” to provide as much tar and nicotine as smokers of regular cigarettes - and therefore are also poisoned and a threat to health.
In a number of complaints, smokers and the federal government have claimed that the tobacco industry misled consumers about the risks of light cigarettes and should be held accountable for disappointment.
“You sell a fraud,” said Gerson Smoger, Oakland, Calif., lawyer representing the petitioners complain of tobacco. “We are trying for eight years for one simple thing: Stop calling these things” light “and misleading the American consumer.”
In one case, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) against cigarette manufacturers, Judge Gladys Kessler ordered the defendant to stop marketing and selling cigarettes “light” and “low tar” and exposure corrective measures statements. (United States against Philip Morris USA, Inc., 2006 WL 2380622 (DDC August 17, 2006).) Defendants are moved to the final judgement and sanitation measures, appeal pending and Court of Appeal’s request. (No. 06-5267 (D. C. App. Oct 31, 2006).
