A survey conducted by a NGO reveals that bootleg cigarettes on sale in some parts of US contain asbestos. The cigarettes are being sold illegally in pubs and clubs, with many unaware that they are inviting mesothelioma. People are susceptible to the ill effects of cigarette smoking and asbestos inhalation. Aside from the obvious health hazards it also escalates the risk of developing lung cancer several times. I am one of the victims and I am here to share my experience with you. I soon developed shortness of breath and coughing. I consulted my doctor regarding this and he was clueless about what was wrong and therefore I went to another one who asked me if I was smoking bootleg cigarettes. He told me that the source of my problems was smoking bootleg cigarettes. I was completely appalled. Now, I wanted to take legal action against the cigarette manufacturers and so I searched online for law firms which specialized in Atlanta mesothelioma lawsuits and came across a good site. Without losing much time I got in touch with the lawyers at the firm and with their help filed a lawsuit against the cigarette manufacturing company. I won the case and am happy that I taught them a good lesson.
