nothing wrong with tobacco companies.

as long as people smoke where they only harm themselves (no passive smoking etc) e.g. at home, why stop them? assuming public money (like the NHS) isnt wasted on them, why is it such a problem?

Bah! Poor toilet company. :( He should sue the tobacco company to bankrupcy and put an end to those annoying death-sticks (I'm gonna get flamed for that! :P)!


Mind trick the tobacco companies! Too bad we really can't... :( It would be awesome though:
"You don't want to sell cigarettes."
"I don't want to sell cigarettes."
"You want to go home and rethink your life."
"I want to go home and rethink my life."

I agree, but this particular lawsuit is not petty. This is why we have courts.

People should start suing people who sue for wasting tax dollars and civil servants' time on petty disputes. Sic Buzz on 'em say I. ;)

I'm a constant critic of our lawsuit culture, but here's one that at least meets my moral requirements for a lawsuit:
1. The guy suing is not at fault for his own injuries (not his fault there was a leaking methane line, nor could he have known he'd blow up when he lit up), and
2. The contractor really is legally responsible for making sure it is installed safely.

I'm glad I don't smoke.

[edit/addendum] I didn't read carefully enough: He's not alleging that the pipes were improperly installed, but that the contractor ran over the pipes with heavy equipment, thus causing the leak--still negligence though.
