Health Insurance Corporation successfully concludes ‘Tobacco Lawsuit Support Relay Challenge’
The National Health Insurance Corporation’s ‘Tobacco Lawsuit Support Relay Challenge’ has been successfully concluded.
The ‘Tobacco Lawsuit Support Relay Challenge’ was held for 7 weeks from May 27, where participants nominated the next runner and uploaded a certified photo supporting the tobacco lawsuit to social networking services (SNS).
In April 2014, the corporation filed a lawsuit for damages worth 53.3 billion won against three tobacco companies (KT&G, Philip Morris Korea, and BAT Korea) to prevent financial leakage due to smoking-related disease treatment costs, determine the responsibility of tobacco companies, strengthen tobacco control policies, and spread a smoking-free culture.
However, the trial court did not recognize the causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer, nor the illegal acts of tobacco companies, and ruled in favor of the tobacco companies in November 2020. The corporation immediately appealed the decision, and the appeal trial is currently in progress.
