R.j. Reynolds will never pay this judgement. It will be appealed and re-appealed. Some final amount will eventually be settled upon and guess who will pay it? Not R.J. Reynolds, but some insurance company contracted by R.J. Reynolds. And ultimately all of us who purchase any kind of liability insurance will be the ones who suffer.
The attorneys for both sides will make big bucks.
Please remember this if you are ever on the jury in a liability case.

zonerboy: Bingo! These emotional hateful actions against corporations are in part used intentionally by lawyer to raise the payout often by using junk science and manipulating medical information causes. e.g. The jury focus was on the plaintiffs smoking but were there other environmental or genetic issues provided to the jury for review or was that documentation withheld?
But for most people it was those greedy hateful corporate types and that's good enough
