Thanks for the ping. I've been out of town, but see that the nanny state just keeps stealing money, from everyone, especially the poor. The settlement money just goes into the general funds and they waste it along with all the other money.
Now the states have a problem with the reduced amounts from the cigarette companies, this should be fun to see, especially with all the no smoking regulations and the hefty taxes on the packs. All I can say is that all the non smokers will soon see tax hikes to make up the shortfall. When the do gooders throw out junk science reasoning, we all will pay for it, not just the "targeted" groups.

That's exactly what will happen. What's next? Coffee?
