Minnesota class action lawsuit against Philip Morris reinstated

• Is this how get your name on the list for the lawsuit to sign up for refunds if smoker since 1981.

• for your information some of us started smoking in our teens (late 70's for me) - we smoked "lights" because we were told there was LESS tar and nicotine in them. and there was no warning that smoking was bad for your health...So if there is anyway for us to join this class action suite I think we should be able to ..... so dont be such an ass,,,

• Come on Group think victims of the powerful and gainfully employed... Free money As a smokers rights advocate for a couple of decades, I hope The Lap dog Philip Morris gets cleaned out. Let me inform you folks that purchase tobacco in Minnesota how Big tobacco, The state Attorneys General Humphrey, the private attorney firm, The public funded Minnesota anti smoking regime set smokers up to pay and become ownerous of the Minnesota 6.3 Billion dollar lawsuit AKA collusion between plaintiff and defendant. This is why this suit was never allowed in front of a Jury in Judge Fitzpatricks court. Sidebar also netted BCBSMN 500 million that never seen a dime go back to subscribers. Pay attention now, On the house floor with all anti smoking legislators and interests present Majority Republican Tax chairman Ron Abrams with full compliance with both political parties and signed by the governor Taxem pawlenty legislation was passed to FIX TOBACCO prices in MInnesota by not allowing Non signers of the collusion settlement to sell tobacco for less than the four signers of the settlement. This is is a great name for this statute MINNESOTA CIGARETTE UNFAIR SALES ACT state statute 325D.30 Here is how it works the Minnesota department of commerce (see their site) every day will issue a fixed price warning to every tobacco manufacturer in the world, No one will sell for less than the signers that instantly raised their prices on all of their products. This is called turf protection exactly like organized crime controls their victims. No one is allowed to sell for less than the "Family Fixed prices" The only winners are the benifactors, the state , Creisi & company the anti smoking cartel, Big tobacco never paid a dime, The only losers are minnesota citizens that purchase tobacco products at punitive tax ation and pricing. Welcome to the Minnesota representative justice system.

• It is too late. They closed the suit, and who was a part of the class action, back in 2004.

• You are an idiot. Really people? I smoke and I know they aren't any safer. It is stupid ass suits like this that raise the cost of cigerettes for all of us. For those of you that wish to profit off your stupidity (the American way I guess) it is TOO LATE to join this lawsuit. They closed it in 2004, so if you were not signed up then, you can't "make bank" now. God this pisses me off. Really? Really?????? 2004 and you don't know they are BAD for you and you want to sue someone for your own lack of intelligence? You people make my brain hurt.

• I too am wondering about this suit. I am one of the silly one's who thought lights were safer.

• I recall the time when I first found out cigarettes aren't safe. Back in the halcyon days of 2004.

• I wondered the same thing -- who do you contact to become part of the class action suit? Anybody have any info on that?

• I heard about this briefly but haven't heard anything since. I need to know more information on where or whom do I talk to.

• where do I sign up?
