10. How much money did Iowa get from the tobacco law suit?
I actually don't know, but it was in the several million dollar range - and how much of it has been used for insurance pool buy-ins or incentives to stop smoking? how much of the tobacco sting monies are used for anti-tobacco programs? I wouldn't mind smoking being eradicated (in fact I wouldn't mind drinking being eradicated either, but I might not have any friends if I suggested that!) I just don't think raising the tax is the way especially when the additional revenue won't be used to do anything to stop smoking.
