Jury orders R.J. Reynolds to Pay $9.75 Million for Death Caused by Smoking Cigarettes

A Florida jury awarded the family of a deceased woman $9.75 million after she died from respiratory disease caused by smoking cigarettes.

Carolyn Long was a regular smoker for decades, before she quit in 2002. However, sometime in the late 1990s, she was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which was determined to be the cause her death at age 80, in 2020.

 

Lawyers from the firm Newlands and Clark representing John Long, Long’s husband, reported that Carolyn Long had an extremely difficult time quitting after smoking for so many years. Saying, “Despite trying… everything she just couldn’t quit,”.

Long’s lawyers further added that “As we know now, nicotine rewires the brain in powerful ways… The tobacco companies knew this long before the public did and engineered cigarettes to be as addictive as possible.”

 

Jurors agreed with the plaintiff. Thus, apportioned 60% of the cause of death to R.J. Reynolds and 10% to Philip Morris, another cigarette company, although they were not a party at this trial.
