    Quebec tobacco class-action litigation

    Rothmans, Benson & Hedges was one of three Canadian tobacco companies named in a large class-action case brought by current and former smokers. Quebec Superior Court awarded more than C$15 billion in 2015. The case concerned alleged smoking-related harms and the conduct of the tobacco companies; the brand itself was involved through the regional operating company.
