I didn't know that, but I'm cynically unsurprised.
A curious fact adjacent to that:
The US tobacco settlement is still ongoing. Each year, tobacco companies have to pay a particular amount of money to state governments, nominally to help offset the societal costs of smoking.
The total amount of the payments made to a specific state in a specific year depends on the number of cigarettes sold in that state the previous year. Not tobacco products in general, but cigarettes specifically.
It's safe to assume that that's relevant.
