The suspect was described as a clean-shaven, white man six feet tall around 200 lbs. in his mid-30s with short dark hair and blue eyes.

Aurora mom sues tobacco shop over teen’s death

An Aurora mother whose teenage son died in a high-speed crash after smoking synthetic marijuana filed a wrongful-death lawsuit Tuesday accusing a tobacco shop of selling him an “unreasonably dangerous” product.

“I understand my son is already gone and there’s nothing I can do to save him — but I can still fight for him,” Karen Dobner said tearfully.
Just days after his 19th birthday, Dobner’s son Max called his brother saying he smoked the “legal stuff” and was experiencing symptoms consistent with a panic attack. Later that day, he ran a stop sign in North Aurora, and hit a garden wall. His car became airborne, and crashed into a house, police said.

On Tuesday, Dobner’s mother filed a lawsuit in DuPage County accusing the Cigar Box in Aurora of selling an “unreasonably dangerous” product — iAroma Hypnotic — which she contends ultimately led to her son’s death June 14.

According to the lawsuit, the Cigar Box, formerly at the Westfield Fox Valley mall, was not properly licensed to sell tobacco in Aurora or operate as a business in DuPage County at the time of the crash. The shop since has closed and its owner, identified in the lawsuit as Ruby Mohsin of Glen Ellyn, could not be reached for comment.

Anti-tobacco coalition needs your help

As secondhand smoke dissipates with each new smoke-free air law and the Food and Drug Administration further restricts the marketing of cigarettes, smoking takes a hit. Just don’t assume Big Tobacco isn’t noticing. In Wisconsin, the tobacco industry is spending $274 million per year promoting a new line of smokeless and spitless tobacco products. Examples of Big Tobacco’s newest products include toothpick-like products that dissolve in your mouth and deliver nicotine in a dose equivalent to three cigarettes, and mini-cigars that appeal to new audiences through fruity flavors such as peach and strawberry.
These products are being packaged to look and smell like popular gums, mints and candy. Many of these tobacco products are strategically placed next to the candy/gum isles in gas stations and convenience stores. The revolting reality: These deceptive marketing techniques are being directed at young people. It’s a fact that 90 percent of adult smokers started using tobacco before they turned 18. The tobacco industry is using candy-flavored smokeless tobacco products to attract new, younger users while keeping all of the addictive and harmful substances in order to continue to line their pockets.
Just as shocking is how other tobacco products cost considerably less than cigarettes. The cigarette tax is $2.52 for a pack of 20 cigarettes compared to the tobacco tax of around 78 cents for 20 little cigars.
