A federal judge is considering whether tobacco companies should be tried on the question of whether they deceived smokers for years about the safety of "light" cigarettes.
The case, filed in 2004, is part of the latest legal assault against tobacco companies. After the companies successfully warded off many lawsuits by people claiming to have been injured by smoking, more cases have been filed against the companies for defrauding consumers by selling light cigarettes.
In this case, known as Schwab after the lead plaintiff, Barbara Schwab, the lawyers asserted that cigarette makers had deceived smokers into thinking that light cigarettes, representing 45 percent of the market, were safer or less addicting.
While many of these so-called light cases have been unsuccessful, the Schwab case follows an opinion last month by a federal judge in the District of Columbia, who found that cigarette companies had engaged in decades of fraud and racketeering, including misleading smokers and concealing information about the health risks of light cigarettes.
