Journal Article
State Expenditures for Tobacco-Control Programs and the Tobacco Settlement
2002
Overview
One of the goals of the legal settlement between the tobacco industry and the states was to promote public health. In this study, the authors examined state spending on tobacco-control programs. In 2001 the average state received $164 million from the tobacco settlement but allocated only 6 percent of these funds to tobacco-control programs. Only six states exceeded the minimal level of funding for tobacco-control programs recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Program funding was not higher in states with more tobacco-related health problems.
It has been four years since the tobacco industry reached settlement agreements with all 50 states, and it has been suggested that the settlement is not living up to its promise.
