Phillip-Morris recently lost a case to an emphysema victim and was charged $300 million. The public is now angry at the court for the amount of money that had to be paid, saying that the ruling was only for such a large amount of money because of how much money the company makes, and also what they're selling. The jury was impressed to hear that Phillip-Morris makes almost $10 million per day selling such a dangerous product, and figured that $300 million was chump change to them to end this case. If other cigarette companies start being worked like this, they will all lose all their money. It shouldn't be a matter of what they're selling or how much they are making, they are all selling the same thing and people know what they're buying and getting themselves into. It frustrates me to hear the company is being taken advantage of just because of the product that it sells.
