A: A mass tort/class action law firm might be able to advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Although these cases have been going on since the 1950s and 1960s, with multiple waves of settlement agreements in the past, there are still law firms that hold themselves in this legal sector. I'm sorry for your emphysema - I hope you are able to slow its effects and that you ultimately succeed in breaking your addition. Reach out to the law firms - you'll see them online. Ask for a free initial consult. Good luck
