I don't care WHERE it's going, it's coming into Maine and 43 OTHER states to take away our rights as smokers!

That money is being used to trample my rights and the rights of the other 55 million in America who choose to smoke a legal product.

The state is not receiving money directly, just the non-profit it started and that it funds to promote a single health payer program for the state and various other socialist programs. It's an arm of the DHS to do its dirty work that it can't do itself legally. So technically you are correct.
