IIRC the tobacco settlement was supposed to be used to off set higher health care costs due to tobacco use, and to fund smoking cessation programs. Nothing else. I guess once the lie was no longer needed it was forgotten about. Since the money is not going to its intended use, I think they should give it back to the tobacco companies (with extra to pay for the tobacco companies legal expenses, plus interest, at the time).
The whole tobacco incident was about money.
The lawyers got the first cut, then they donated the rest to their favorite dimrat politicians.
