Seventeen years after the 1998 Tobacco Settlement, a new report says many states are not spending their shares of the money on programs to stop smoking and to help people quit the habit. Chris Hansen, the president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, says even though the northeast often leads the nation in many areas of no-smoking efforts, the states fall short in using the settlement money. He spoke recently with WAMC’s Brian Shields.
