NC isn't the only state not spending their cigarette money on anti-tobacco campaigns or health care.

The REAL story of the tobacco extortion is which states ARE spending the money in the manner they said they would.

And which states would THAT be.
Maybe 4 to 8% of them. (I know, I'm probably giving them too much credit.)

Actually the REAL story is which state said they sued the tobacco companies to fund anti-smoker propaganda. None of them did. The extortion was settlement of lawsuits for allegedly previously paid state health care costs.
