Did you ever wonder how States' funding for tobacco prevention stack up against pay packages for top tobacco executives?
It's a tale of two payouts!
Total compensation for 5 executives at RJ Reynold, Lorillard, and Marlboro equalled $66.5 million. That is more than any single state (except California) will spend on tobacco prevention in fiscal year 2011. In fact, it's more than the 24 worst states on prevention spend combined.
One CEO received $20.7 million, which was more that 46 states spent on tobacco prevention. For the complete article and a table showing how states rank vs. these payouts check out the link below.
