Put Punitive Damages into a PUBLIC fund -- all of them, all of that money. Lawyers don't get rich on them. Damaged people get their damages only. Then if the REASON for the Punitive Damages doesn't stop, then apply them AGAIN, without the trial (because we've ALREADY decided the punishment was deserved!).
In this case, tobacco companies shouldn't pay Punitive Damages in the first place... until we decide, as a society, to make it illegal to sell cigarettes, alcohol, etc. But we don't have the conviction of our comments to DO that, now do we?
