The Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court yesterday in its landmark lawsuit against the tobacco industry, arguing that the government should be able to pursue as much as $280 billion in past profits from cigarette makers for allegedly misleading the public about the dangers of smoking.
    In an eight-month racketeering trial that ended last month, the government argued that the nation’s six largest tobacco companies engaged in a 50-year conspiracy to defraud the public and mislead it about the health risks of smoking.
