Wrongful death is “any death caused by wrongful act, neglect, or default.” In other words, if someone’s misconduct causes a fatality, that death may be considered “wrongful”. Many wrongful deaths are the result of an accident involving negligence. Sometimes, criminal misconduct results in wrongful death. In such cases, the at-fault person may be both criminally and civilly liable for the wrongful death.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit an unprepared world hard. The public health, social, and economic toll has been unprecedented in recent decades. As of mid-May 2021, more than 168 million people have been infected and 3.5 million have died of the disease. Based on estimated excess mortality for 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently indicated that the death toll is likely higher.

While this global crisis has unraveled social life across countries, the equally devastating decades-old pandemic of tobacco use has continued unabated to claim lives and make people sick as it is causally linked to diseases of nearly all organs of the body.  Around 25% of all heart disease deaths and 80% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking, and many others are caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, for example.

A different, but the devastating pandemic

Cigarette smoking is not only the most common form of tobacco use but one of the leading preventable risk factors for premature mortality worldwide
