Description: An essay by Harvard Law professor Kip Viscusi arguing that the settlement of the lawsuit against tobacco firms didn't penalize those firms, but instead penalized smokers, the so-called victims. (May 19, 2002)
Kip Viscusi, Smoke-Filled Rooms: A Postmortem on the Tobacco Deal "Professor Viscusi—the preeminent expert on the law and economics of risky behavior, especially cigarette smoking—provides the definitive critique of the government litigation against the tobacco industry. Viscusi dispassionately explains how the tobacco litigation was about politics, not law, and money, not public health."—Bill Pryor, Attorney General, State of Alabama
