  "It's not really a 'rob Peter to pay Paul' deal, because that would be a case of vanishing money or revenue," reflected County Administrator Dan Sleeper.
  ...
  "Smokers in these programs do not cost more than nonsmokers," attorney Peter Bleakley said Monday as opening statements began."And if that is true, then the state and Blue Cross are not entitled to any damages."
  
  Bleakley said Minnesota used a flawed mathematical model to estimate its costs from smoking.He said the model used national figures instead of focusing on smokers who were on Medicaid or public assistance, who he said are different from the public at large.He did not say why.
  ...
  Bleakley, one of the tobacco attorneys, told jurors that he knew from the selection process that most of them dislike smoking, that some believe cigarette advertising should be banned and that some even want to ban cigarette sales.
  
  "But that is not an issue in this case," Bleakley said."The issue that you have to decide is whether wrongful conduct by the defendants caused the state to incur increased health care costs."
  
  He said the industry had not deceived the public about the dangers of tobacco, and he said polls show that virtually all Minnesotans have long believed that cigarettes are harmful to health.
