Recent developments in the courts have indicated an increased vulnerability of the tobacco industry to civil lawsuits brought because of tobacco-related illness. Much of the recent public discussion has dealt with how to attack the public health problem of childhood smoking, and the judicial system may also be of help in this effort. Antitrust law may be of particular benefit in dealing with tobacco promotion to children.
法庭上的最新进展表明，烟草行业在因烟草相关疾病引发的民事诉讼中越来越容易受到攻击。最近的许多公众讨论都围绕如何解决儿童吸烟这一公共卫生问题展开，司法系统在这方面也可能有所帮助。反垄断法在应对针对儿童的烟草促销活动方面可能会特别有用。
