In Indiana a class action lawsuit was filed in the 90's concerning this. I'm not sure if there is still money avaialbel from that fund, but if not you probably can't make a separate claim. Contact the Indiana Bar Association about this and they'll refer you to someone with more knowledge about the tobacco litigation.
