TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2001 States are misusing a $240 billion tobacco settlement fund, Missisippi's Attorney General said on Monday. Instead of earmarking the funds for tobacco cessation or education programs, some states are using them for other purposes, said Michael Moore during his keynote address at the the annual meeting of the American Lung Association of Maine. Tribes have been rebuffed when seeking part of the state settlement with tobacco companies. Lawsuits filed separately against tobacco companies have been dismissed. Get the Story:
