Kansas Accepts Tobacco Settlement With Restrictions
Attorney General Carli Stovall announced Kansas will join more than 30 states in a $1.8 billion, 25 year settlement to fund health care costs and curb tobacco marketing to youth. The deal bans Joe Camel style ads, buses, and free samples while allowing one major sporting sponsorship annually. Kansas filed suit in 1996 seeking $1 billion from tobacco makers. Liggett & Myers settled earlier.
