Links To Tobacco Settlement Funds
Info This site is intended to
provide direct links to other web sites which have information relevant to
the tobacco settlement agreement, including to the full Master Settlement
Agreement (MSA) and to an analysis of the agreement. Information on other sections of this site, particularly the sections
on "Tobacco & Older Persons: Fact Sheets, etc.," "Tobacco-related Health
Problems & Older Persons," "Tobacco & Adult Minorities," and the articles
in the "Tobacco & the Elderly Notes newsletters," are intended to provide
advocates and policymakers with information which can be easily used to
establish a strong case for settlement funds being used for programs for
older persons, minorities and for tobacco prevention and cessation
programs. We encourage you to make use of these materials. The following are links to key sites for information on tobacco
