Juries are still finding against tobacco companies nearly twenty years after the first verdicts against them and the billion dollar settlements with several States. Last week, a South Florida jury found R.J. Reynolds guilty of engaging in reprehensible and intentionally reckless misconduct for a smoker's death and awarded $37.5 million to the woman's surviving family. The verdict included an award of $22.5 in punitive damages.
