R.J. Reyonlds praises New York court decision

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., July 17 (Reuters) - R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. praised a New York court's decision to dismiss class-action suits
against tobacco companies.

The company said the ruling showed that class-status status does not apply to large groups whose only common characteristic is that they
used the same product.

''The court correctly noted that people who smoke do so for different reasons, under different circumstances and with different results,'' Daniel
Donahue, Reynolds senior vice president and deputy general counsel, said in a statement.

A New York appeals court on Thursday said class-action procedures may not be applied to suits against tobacco companies. the court
dismissed five class-action suits.
