Stovall fights tobacco giants in historic Kansas case
Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall faces motions to dismiss her suit against five major tobacco companies and to force disclosure of decades old documents. Judge Fred Jackson will hear arguments on the motions and on releasing Liggett from a 1990s secrecy pledge. Stovall says a settlement could end marketing to children and remove Joe Camel imagery, marking a historic step in the war on tobacco. Kansas aims to gain access to the secret documents as states push broader litigation.
