Legacy Warner Series Event and Webcast – October 23 – Fifteen Years After the Master Settlement Ag

The Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between the major tobacco companies, 46 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories was the largest civil litigation settlement in U.S. history, with the central purpose to reduce smoking - and particularly youth smoking - in the United States.The MSA has had a significant impact on preventing youth smoking, but challenges remain.

On October 23, 2013, Legacy, National Association of Attorneys General and RTI International, a non-profit research institute, will host a Warner Series lecture that brings together Attorneys General and public health and tobacco control experts to explore the MSA's successes, challenges and implications for public health policy for years to come.

The event will be held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and will be live-webcasted and archived for a national audience.
