A number of states are investing their tobacco settlement money in tobacco stocks.

Of course, we all know that state governments are as hooked on tobacco as their constituents. What *would* they do without the bounty of taxes they receive on tobacco sales?

I would love to see Phillip Morris (or whatever they are called now) say "gee, the government of New York state hates tobacco. Let's stop selling it there." Mayhem would result, no doubt.
