R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company vs Cynthia Robinson

A Florida jury awarded a widow $23 billion in punitive damages in her lawsuit against tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, her lawyer said.

Cynthia Robinson claimed that smoking killed her husband, Michael Johnson, in 1996. She argued R.J. Reynolds was negligent in not informing him that nicotine is addictive and smoking can cause lung cancer. Johnson started smoking when he was 13 and died of lung cancer when he was 36. Ref. CNN

Is that a misprint because 23 billion seems like an awful lot for just one woman to get in a case?
