Paulie,
You're up to your usual flimflam. The tobacco settlement money was supposed to be used to to recoup prevention programs AND tobacco-related health expenditures.

You focus only on how much was spent on prevention programs (2%), but don't discuss tobacco-related health expenditures at all. Given that health care is much more expensive, that's a glaring act omission and rather dishonest. 

You must think your readers are stupid.

As for the 2014 New York Times op-ed  you copied and pasted from, it offers no sources or citations for the claim that tobacco money was diverted to other spending. I think you should have been a little bit curious about the Alaska spending for docks, and checked it out.

The author, Jim Estes sounds like a tobacco industry shill to me. I guess you shills stick together.
