Are tobacco lawsuits being filed in federal court or in state court or both?
Cases will be filed in federal court if the plaintiff and the tobacco company are from different states. However, if a plaintiff sues the local stores he/she bought from the case may proceed in state court. However, tobacco companies will remove to federal court under theories that federal warning laws preempt state claims. A federal judge then decides to keep the case in federal court or remand to state court.

Many American parents are aware of the danger that smoking cigarettes pose to everyone's health. These parents in the past were alarmed that too many of their children were smoking outside the home, and were exposing themselves to the danger of inhaling tobacco smoke. To a lesser degree, they were also alarmed at the idea of their children paying high prices for cigarettes.The decline in the US tobacco industry points to the fact that less Americans are smoking compared to 10 or 20 years ago. With that being said, most parents are happy about the decline in tobacco companies and many young people are not becoming addicted to smoking as they have in the past.

What are the working conditions for tobacco farmers?
Tobacco farming is extremely labour intensive. This has a major impact on farming families who must provide much of the unpaid labour. The use of child labour in tobacco growing is widespread, with children often being pulled out of school at key harvesting times. Women are negatively affected as well, as is food production for the family as a result. As the international tobacco industry becomes ever more powerful and consolidated, the cheap (and often unpaid) labour of women is a key factor that ensures the large profit margins of tobacco multinationals.
