I think this sort of thing is very wrong, just as the lawsuits against tobacco companies.

And before people start screaming, I had to see my mother die of embphysema last year, and as horrible as it was, I still believe that all the demonization that's been going on is very wrong.

Why? Simple. It opens the door now to sue coffee producers for the harmful effects of caffeine (Folgers advertises coffee as pretty much the greatest thing one can do in the morning), then we could sue chewing gum manufacturers and have them pay for the cleanup of millions of miles of sidewalks around the world, in other words, this just opens the door for something I'm not sure we want or need in the world.
