A jury has awarded the estate of a smoker $9.03 million in a products liability case.

Lawyers for Marion Dion, who died in 1994 at 61 after a 1991 lung cancer diagnosis, sued R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. The case was tried last year, but the trial ended in a hung jury. Plaintiff’s counsel produced experts to establish Dion was addicted to nicotine and her addiction led to early smoking cessation failures.
