Abstract

There are a large number of uncertainties related to the tobacco industry due to Medicare suits, fresh negotiations with state attorneys general, and the death of the national settlement proposed by Sen John McCain. A large number of tobacco industry suits concerning cancer and Medicare have been settled, but the industry is still vulnerable. These stocks are suitable mainly for aggressive long-term investors and not conservative accounts.
