Light 'Em Up!

A federal judge in Brooklyn gave the tobacco honchos a smackdown yesterday, ruling that morons who smoked light cigarettes in the strange belief that they'd be less addictive or harmful than the regular cyclindrical paper tube of burning leaves can go ahead with a class-action fraud claim. Darn -- just when the mavens of the tobacco industry thought they might be on a winning streak. It's thought that these so-called "lights cases" will be a major threat to the butt makers, exposing them to significant damages. Not unlike the threat of cigarettes to smokers themselves. Mmm, irony -- so smooth and satisfying!
