HISTORICAL CONTEXT SCORCHED EARTH STRATEGY “The aggressive posture we have taken … continues to make these cases extremely burdensome and expensive for plaintiffs’ lawyers . . .. To paraphrase General Patton, the way we won these cases was not by spending all of [the tobacco companies’] money, but by making that other son of a bitch spend all of his.” Tobacco Industry Attorney, 1988 12/6/2018 25

Key Points About M SA from Advocacy Perspective • T obacco companies can’t use cartoon characters in marketing • Annual tobacco settlement payments do not have an end date • Number of state tobacco control programs still rely on M SA payments for funding • Lock up funding by ballot measure/ constitutional amendment if possible • Securitization of M SA payments is bad, eliminates source of funding for tobacco control programs • 20 th anniversary golden opportunity to remind state officials about promises made at the time of the M SA 45 45
