Passive smoking gave teacher cancer: court - The Local: A French court has ordered a college to pay damages to a former teacher who developed lung cancer after being exposed to passive smoking at work.
In what represents a landmark ruling in France, Bordeaux’s Court of Appeal accepted there was a link between the diagnosis of the teacher’s lung cancer and her exposure to passive smoking while working at the National School of Architecture in Toulouse.
The court said the victim’s cancer, diagnosed in 2000, was a “direct result of the failure of the school to enforce anti-smoking initiatives from 1992 onwards".
