Tobacco Settlement More Spark than Dying Ember?
From Point of Law - Master & Settlement: General Tobacco sues AGs, competitors
Upon the 10th anniversary of the tobacco master settlement agreement (see below here and here), we find the legal disputes carrying on. Indeed, it appears the settlement did more sparking than settling. Perhaps that's the inevitable result of addressing important policy questions through a joint lawsuit by state attorneys general instead of through a state-by-state basis by legislative bodies, which can better weigh public sentiment and balance political considerations. So, more litigation.
