And, about the motion to dismiss, the district court concluded that Plaintiff's complaint failed to state a claim because, as a matter of law, the alleged fraud, conspiracy, and breach of assumed duty were not the proximate cause of Plaintiff's alleged injuries.
Plaintiff appeals the district court's dismissal of Plaintiff's conspiracy and breach of assumed duty claims and the district court's denial of Plaintiff's motion for leave to amend.
A well-established principle of Alabama law is that, to recover in tort, a plaintiff must establish that the defendant's misconduct was the "proximate cause" - and not just the "remote cause" - of the plaintiff's injuries.

The plurality determined that claim was preempted for the same reasons the plaintiff's failure to warn claims based upon advertising were preempted, namely, they rely on a state law requirement or prohibition with respect to advertising or promotion.
The plurality concluded that because the conspiracy claim was not grounded on a state law requirement or prohibition with respect to advertising, but rather on a state law prohibition against conspiring to commit fraud, it was not preempted.
Accordingly, we conclude that such claims allege a violation of a state law requirement based on smoking and health with respect to advertising [*33] and promotion, and therefore are preempted by the federal Labeling Act.

The Alabama claims were a diplomatic dispute between the United States and Great Britain that arose out of the U.S. Civil War.
