加拿大一家法院裁定,在一场为期10年的集体诉讼之后,包括英美烟草公司(British American Tobacco)的一家子公司在内的三家烟草公司须向两组烟民支付156亿加元赔偿金。

第一组是患有肺癌和咽喉癌烟民,第二组则是对尼古丁上瘾的烟民。英美烟草公司对这笔加拿大历史上数额最高的赔偿金提出了质疑。该案反映了烟草公司面临的不间断的法律风险。
BAT said there were “strong legal grounds to appeal the judgment and to challenge thecourt’s “provisional execution order, which requires an immediate C$1.131bn payout in theevent of an appeal.
英美烟草公司表示,他们有“充分的法律依据对该裁定提起上诉,并对法庭的“临时执行令表示质疑——临时执行令规定,如果提起上诉,则须立即支付11.31亿加元赔偿金。
