States lost under tobacco settlement study forests.
Richmond based study by Stanford economist Jeremy Bulow concludes 29 states would have profited more from a four dollar excise tax per carton than from sharing billions under the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. Virginia would have gained about 2.09 per carton versus 1.91, losing roughly 143.3 million in 2003 alone.
