Has anyone sued tobacco companies over breast cancer


Has anyone sued tobacco companies over breast cancer?
Beside breast cancer who else has sued them for any thing cancer related. And uh how does the government support/fund breast cancer research, more specially breast cancer and smoking.

I don't think you can sue a tobacco company for breast cancer. Those suits were for lung cancer and years ago. They've had warnings on the packs for many years now. Now if you smoke, it's your own problem.
2 :
In this country you can sue anyone for anything, but there is no link between breast cancer and smoking.

I don't know why Denisedds' answer has a thumbs down, she is completely right. There is no link between breast cancer and smoking. Check out all the reputable and responsible breast cancer websites and charities - for example breast cancer.org, Breast Cancer Care, Breakthrough Breast Cancer; all of them list the recognised risk factors for breast cancer. None of those lists includes smoking. Smoking is a risk factor for some cancers; breast cancer is not one of them
