[QUOTE="john250, post: 1100813, member: 4406"] Every state gets tobacco company money! From the Master Settlement Agreement of--I think it was '96. States were supposed to use the money on smoking cessation programs, but most states just put it in the general fund. The tobacco growing states where tobacco farmers are numerous enough to have some political power used some of the money to transition tobacco farmers into other areas like cattle. A tiny portion of the money goes into smoking cessation. After all, if people quit smoking the money dries up. The tobacco industry was nationalized. It operates with the acquiesence of the govt.; as long as the taxes get paid it's fine. [/QUOTE]
