(( It's a huge blow to the historically unified tobacco industry...one

action suit that charged cigarette makers knew nicotine was addictive.
(( JOE CHERNER/PRES. SMOKEFREE EDUCATION SERVICES:FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY

Perhaps most significant is the fact that Liggett has broken ranks.
The other major companies being sued including RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris
have not settled.
So that image of all tobacco executives testifying under oath that nicotine
is not addictive would be a different picture now.
(( JOE CHERNER: IF YOU LOOK AT THE SEVEN EXECUTIVES TESTIFYING BEFORE
CONGRESS...YOU
NOW HAVE ONE SAYING THE OPPOSITE...SO THEY'RE NOT THIS MONOLITHIC ENTITY
ANYMORE...THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE WALL NOW.))
The class action suit was brought by a consortium of lawyers
representing every American smoker who claims to be addicted...those lawyers
today held a press conference saying its a start.
(( WENDELL GAUTHIER/ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFFS:))
As part of a widespread agreement Liggett will pay five percent of
its pretax earnings over 25 years into funds to help people quit smoking...it
has also agreed to end advertising that appeals to children.
((JOE CAMEL IS DEAD))
According to published reports Liggett settled to free itself from
the costly tobacco litigation. and while Liggett is the first...it may not
be the last. With decades of lawsuits ahead of them...tobacco companies may
find that settlements are the cheapest way to stay in business. E.K. CBS News
