I began smoking when I was 12. Even back then cigarettes were referred to as "another nail in your coffin" or "cancer sticks" In the early 1960"s the Surgeon General was posting warnings on the side panels of cigarette packages. Now you don't have to hit me over the head with a hammer to get me to act. I quit cold turkey. So fair warnings have been publicly on display for well over 60 years
The case in question is a classic example of how inept our jury system has become ( think OJ and Casey Anthony) This family already won $17 million in damages and now hit the lottery for another $23 billion. This verdict is obscene and you can bet the jury had absolutely no inclination on what they were doing. If this verdict stands it is going to result in unprecedented verdicts in the future that could potentially reach in the trillions of dollars.
