First sentence: When lifelong smoker Jean Connor died of lung cancer in 1995 at age forty-nine, her family brought a wrongful death suit against cigarette manufacturer R.J. Reynolds, arguing that Connor had been "lured into smoking" as a teenager by glamorous tobacco advertisements and was heavily addicted before cigarette warning labels made their appearance.
