Abstract

After many years of intense controversy and debate about tobacco and its marketing, a landmark settlement occurred in 1998 between 46 U.S. states and producers of tobacco products. The agreement states that tobacco companies must spend $246 billion over the next 25 years to settle health claims. The settlement also demanded companies put a senior vice-president over youth smoking prevention activities. The way that tobacco firms have responded to this last edict continues to be hotly contested.
