Saudi Arabia is threatening to sue US and British tobacco companies for the cost of treating tobacco-related illnesses, according to a health ministry statement cited by Reuters. The health ministry had previously rejected an offer of compensation by unnamed firms. The amount claimed was not revealed, nor where a proposed action would be brought.

IMO: What an excellent idea ! I wish Saudi Arabia success in this very worthy venture and hope more countries do the same. In this case, Saudi Arabia is a fine and noble example to Islam everywhere and indeed to everyone else too. Please everyone, follow this fine ideal! These tobacco companies have got away with too much for too long and have caused many gruesome and painful deaths to decent people.
