Tobacco Facts

The tobacco industry is already paying a damage of overĀ 250 billion US$ to all 50 states of US of A.

The Global Settlement Agreement was a first attempt at a settlement between the state attorneys general and the tobacco companies. The settlement included a payment by the companies of $365.5 million, agreement to possible Food and Drug Administration regulation under certain circumstances, and stronger warning labels and restrictions on advertising. In exchange the companies would be freed from class-action suits and litigation costs would be capped. The agreement was reworked and as a result the tobacco industry is paying nearly 250 billion US dollors in damages to all the 50 States of USA as agreed under the "Master Settlement Agreement."
