Цитата: Нет проблем Прохожий. Вот тебе. Извините ребята но сидеть и самому переводить лень. Поэтому воспользуюсь автоматическим переводом с сайта. Мало будет я тебе ещё кучу скину. "Тем не менее, промышленность начала выплаты $ 246 миллиардов в поселке с государствами, которые подали в суд на промышленность ищет окупить затраты, потраченные на лечение больных курильщиков. Это поселение не бар иски отдельных курильщиков....... Адвокаты Philip Morris не отрицал, что курение вызывает болезни Боекен, но утверждал, что он проигнорировал предупреждения о вреде здоровью о вреде сигарет и выбрал курить, несмотря на риск". http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92675 However, the industry has started paying out $246 billion in a settlement with states that sued the industry seeking to recoup costs spent on treating sick smokers. That settlement did not bar lawsuits by individual smokers. Boeken was diagnosed in 1999 with lung cancer, which has spread to his lymph nodes, back and brain. He took up cigarettes in 1957 at age 13 and was smoking at least two packs of Marlboros every day for more than 40 years. Boeken's attorney, Michael Piuze, said his client had kicked heroin and alcohol, but renewed his smoking habit after trying to quit several times. Piuze argued that his client was a victim of a decades-long tobacco industry campaign to promote smoking as "cool" but which concealed the serious dangers of smoking. During closing arguments, Piuze said Philip Morris is "the world's biggest drug dealer, something that puts the Colombian drug cartels to shame." Tobacco Company: ‘He Made a Choice …’ Attorneys for Philip Morris didn't deny that smoking caused Boeken's illness but argued that he ignored health warnings about the dangers of cigarettes and chose to smoke despite the risk. "He made a choice to smoke, period," Leiter said during closing arguments. |
