The real shame is that the "tobacco settlement" allows tobacco companies to continue to sell an obviously dangerous product. It's all about money; it's not a health issue; it's not a legal issue nor is it about anyone getting "justice". As long as the tobacco companies can stay in business and as long as individuals can successfully sue, this will go on. It's business as usual.
