They said:

Where does truth get its cash money?

truth is funded by the American Legacy Foundation - an independent, public health organization created in 1998 as a result of the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA).

Basically, 46 states, the District of Columbia and 5 U.S. territories got together and sued the major tobacco companies to try to recover some of the billions of tax dollars spent caring for sick smokers. The tobacco companies settled out of court, signing an agreement to pay the states a certain amount of money, and the states then funded the American Legacy Foundation with a very small portion of that money.

In addition to truth, Legacy also has a national grants program that provides support for state and local tobacco prevention, education and cessation, and funds for small organizations or individuals with innovative ideas that might foster future programs to reduce tobacco use.

For more information about the American Legacy Foundation,
