The Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between the tobacco industry and the states in 1998 resulted in advertising restrictions and payments to the states for tobacco education. The agreement also required the tobacco companies to make annual payments to the states to compensate for the costs associated with treating smoking-related illnesses. However, there was no ban on all tobacco advertising or reductions in tar and nicotine in all tobacco products, and there were no prison sentences for tobacco executives or damage payments to the states.
