Steve Hammer tells jurors that his client, Ed Caprio, was so addicted to nicotine that he was unsuccessful in many attempts to quit smoking, even after being diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 20 years ago. Caprio, who stopped smoking in January 2015, is suing tobacco manufacturers R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris, Lorillard, and the Liggett Group, in this Engle progeny proceeding, claiming that their concealment of smoking’s addictiveness and health risks led to his COPD and lung cancer.
