Quotes from this article:

Modern living has exposed people to a variety of toxic substances. Illness and disease from exposure to these substances are often latent, not manifesting themselves for years or even decades after the exposure. Our tort law developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries . . . We must adapt to the growing recognition that exposure to toxic substances and radiation may cause substantial injury which should be compensable even if the full effects are not immediately apparent.
MA Supreme Court Justice Francis X. Spina, writing for the court in the Donovan medical monitoring suit.

Quotes from this article:

Already over half of new cases are being diagnosed in former smokers and another 15% have never smoked at all. We have to stop blaming and start addressing the disease of lung cancer in its entirety.
