Your written response may be suppressed (i.e. dismissed) at trial, because you did not appear to give evidence in support of your response. The court will probably enter a default against you and allow the plaintiff to proceed to an uncontested proof hearing and disregard any denials of liability you made in your written response. The written response only ensures that you will be given an opportunity to be heard either at trial or in a summary judgment hearing. Beyond that, you have to appear to avoid an entry of judgment against you.

What is the legal basis for a lawsuit against a tobacco company?

There are several. One is a failure to properly warn the user that the use of tobacco might cause addiction to nicotine and has been known to cause cancer. Another basis is that the product is inherently dangerous and should not have been put into the stream of commerce. Unfortunately, courts have held that the use of tobacco is voluntary and most of the dangers are known, so the user knew this and chose to use it anyway. The companies also argue that the warning on the package is enough to satisfy the obligation to warn. These are near impossible cases to win.
