Leichtman, Appellant, v. WLW Jacor Communications, Inc. et al., Appellees.
"The Smoke in the Face Case"
Should a smoker's license to freely blow his smoke be limited by the sensitivity of non-smokers?
Plaintiff—a known anti-smoking advocate—was invited to appear on a radio talk show to talk about the harmful effects of smoking and breathing secondhand smoke. During the show, one of the hosts lit a cigar and repeatedly blew smoke directly into the plaintiff’s face.
