Irimi v R.J. Reynolds Defense Opening Statement: Smoker’s Choices Led to Health Problems

Defense counsel Kevin Boyce argues that Dale Moyer, the smoker at the center of Heather Irimi, et al. v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co, et al., made the conscious choice to continue smoking despite knowing of its dangers. Moyer’s surviving family members are suing RJR and other tobacco defendants in one of Florida’s Engle progeny cases.
