Lawyers representing the Ontario government are asking a judge to lift a stay on legal proceedings against three major tobacco companies so the province can pursue a lawsuit to recover smoking-related health costs.

Ontario launched its lawsuit against a dozen Canadian firms and their parent companies roughly a decade ago and the case was projected to go to trial late next year or in early 2021.

Quebec's highest court upheld an earlier judgment in March ordering the companies to pay out more than $15 billion to smokers in that province who took part in two class-action lawsuits. In a hearing Thursday, lawyers for Ontario argued their trial should be allowed to go ahead because the remaining 11 companies involved will not have to take part in mediation.

we have come a long way baby in not smoking as a society.

i don't see how . it says right on the package. this will give you cancer if you smoke them. you are buying a cancer stick.

Doug doesnt know how to create , he just knows how to destroy and take away

By this logic Ontario is also responsible since they allowed it in the first place.
