This is utter incredible but well deserved. Beginning of the end for the Tobacco Industry. This'll make every loon with a chest cold sue the cigarette companies for a billion or two.
"A Florida jury awarded a widow $23.6 billion in punitive damages in her lawsuit against tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, her lawyer said.
Cynthia Robinson claimed
that smoking killed her husband, Michael Johnson, in 1996. She argued
R.J. Reynolds was negligent in not informing him that nicotine is
addictive and smoking can cause lung cancer. Johnson started smoking
when he was 13 and died of lung cancer when he was 36."
