Until tort reform (making the plaintiff financially responsible for filing frivolous lawsuits) is enacted, the benefits (lots of easy money quickly) will outweigh the costs (higher prices & insurance rates) in the minds of the people filing these suits. There are too many lawyers spinning a system that makes it too easy to sue for googobs of money.
EDIT - Oh, and BTW... go ahead and tax cigarettes all you want - but lay off my cigars!!!
