Cosmo, thanks for your report, very interesting.

After I read it a second time and about the possibility that the co's could ask money back in the Florida case I thought about the possibility that any possible advertising bans in a settlement could maybe be extinguished in later suits. Do you think it is possible that the tobacco co's will swallow the ad bans for now with the ulterior motive to get rid of the bans later? Do you think there is a possibility that courts are deciding this way (because of free speech etc. etc.). And: If a ban would be cut out of a settlement, would the whole settlement be evaporated?
