Tony Gwynn Wrongful Death Lawsuit....
 
The family of Hall of Fame baseball player Tony Gwynn has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the tobacco industry.
 
News Story Here
 
Excerpts:
 
"Tony Gwynn died at the age of 54 in 2014 after a 4-year battle with mouth cancer—specifically of the salivary gland on the right side of his face."
 
"The lawsuit states that he had been consuming 1 and a half, to 2 tins of tobacco per day for more than 30 years. The National Institutes of Health estimate it’s equivalent to smoking 4-5 packs of cigarettes per day."
 
"In 1991, following a surgery to remove a benign neck tumor, Gwynn got out to his car and “immediately reached for his can of Skoal.” That same year, he would go on to be a National League All-Star, and win a Golden Glove."
 
------------------
 
I have to sound off on this one, especially as a former smoker...
 
30 years?!? Equivalent of 4-5 packs of cigarettes per day?!? Got a tumor in 1991 and STILL didn't take the health seriously?!?
 
Sorry, this one's on YOU buddy...I was a pack-a-day smoker for years, occasionaly climbing to a pack-and-a-half if I was having a libation or 12...No way I could ever do 2 packs in one day...And to do 4 or 5 a day for over 30 years? Then claim you were a victim? Classless, IMO...YOU and ONLY YOU abused your body to that point...I would have never even considered blaming anyone else for that which was caused by my vice...And when I say YOU, I'm talking about the family too since they brought the suit...
 
OK...Now I feel a bit better...

Is suing tobacco companies still a thing? You would think with all the warnings labels and health studies out there that it would be hard to go into a court room and pretend to be ignorant of the risks of using tobacco.

Sad thing is that they'll probably settle and give them money just perpetuating stupid lawsuits. (Not that yours are stupid @lynnsgirl 🙂)
