Lawyers...them bastages.  |
IIRC, one of the main lawyers in that litigation is now in jail for bribing judges. It wasn't for the tobacco litigation, but the judge has said he felt like he "knew what he was doing and might have done this before". (paraphrased)
Besides, every study done shows that smokers are cheaper for health insurance companies--they usually die before more expensive diseases get them. The whole premise under which these companies were sued is totally false.
