Quotes from this article:

The overwhelming indirect and circumstantial evidence was sufficient to allow the district court to reasonably infer that the high level executives, including 'CEOs, Vice Presidents, [and] Heads of Research & Development' for Defendants knew about their respective companies' 'internal research, public positions, and long term strategies,' that is, the 'internal knowledge and practice' of the company. These executives then made, caused to be made, and approved public statements contrary to this knowledge . . . Based on this sort of evidence and the inferences reasonably drawn from it, a factfinder could permissibly infer that the speaker harbored specific intent to defraud at the time he or she made the false or misleading statement. Moreover, such pervasive knowledge throughout the organizations demonstrates that Defendants’ executives at least acted with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of their statements. As the district court correctly held, such reckless disregard suffices to demonstrate the requisite intent.
Appeals court decision on the DOJ case.

In addition to the health hazards of smoking, the government presented evidence that Defendants intimately understood the addictiveness of nicotine and manipulated nicotine delivery in cigarettes to create and sustain addiction. Evidence showed that Defendants undertook extensive research into the physiological impact of nicotine, how it operates within the human body, and how the physical and chemical design parameters of cigarettes influence the delivery of nicotine to smokers. As a result of this research, they recognized and internally acknowledged that smoking and nicotine are addictive and they engineered their products around creating and sustaining this addiction. Evidence at trial suggested that despite this internal knowledge, for decades Defendants publicly denied and distorted the truth about the addictive nature of their products, suppressed research revealing the addictiveness of nicotine, and denied their efforts to control nicotine levels and delivery.
Verdict on the DOJ case from a 3-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

[T]he government presented evidence suggesting that Defendants became aware that secondhand smoke poses a health risk to nonsmokers but made misleading public statements and advertisements about secondhand smoke in an attempt to cause the public to doubt the evidence of its harmfulness. . . . The evidence also showed that they 'created, controlled, used, or participated in' a vast array of foreign or international entities to conduct their sensitive secondhand smoke research, generate 'marketable science' to use for public relations purposes, and coordinate their shared objectives and message.
Verdict on the DOJ case from a 3-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Quotes from this article:

At most, these findings establish that at some time the Defendants sold a defective product, concealed their tortious behavior, acted negligently, breached an express or implied warranty, and engaged in a conspiracy to misrepresent information relating to the health effects of smoking. . . . the Phase I findings merely establish conduct as a broad abstraction, and conduct in the abstract fails to meet the identity requirement to apply such findings in the specific cases before this Court.
HARVEY E. SCHLESINGER , United States District Judge in Jacksonville, FL, ruling on the Engle/Brown case.

The apparent flaw with the jury form, and any verdict delivered from the form, is its nonspecificity with respect to what acts or omissions committed by what Defendant breached what duty to which Plaintiff causing what injury. As such, this Court "would have to embark on sheer speculation" to determine what issues were actually decided during the Phase I trial and how to apply them to the individual claims before this Court.
HARVEY E. SCHLESINGER , United States District Judge in Jacksonville, FL, ruling on the Engle/Brown case.

Quotes from this article:

f) Non-Admissibility. The settlement negotiations resulting in this Agreement have been undertaken by the Settling States and the Participating Manufacturers in good faith and for settlement purposes only, and no evidence of negotiations or discussions underlying this Agreement shall be offered or received in evidence in any action or proceeding for any purpose. Neither this Agreement nor any public discussions, public statements or public comments with respect to this Agreement by any Settling State or Participating Manufacturer or its agents shall be offered or received in evidence in any action or proceeding for any purpose other than in an action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement.
Master Settlement Agreement

[T]he courts of this State have been so adamant that punitive damages are "a social exemplary 'remedy,' [and] not a private compensatory remedy," that the imposition of such damages for private purposes has been held to violate public policy.
NY Supreme Court Appellate Panel, in the Fabiano case. The definition of "punitive damages" as a social remedy would seem to render moot the Supreme Court's decision in Williams, that jurors were _not_ to consider the harm to others in deciding punitives.
