[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS IrkIR0x7. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We assessed the effect of Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) spending on smoking disparities in Arkansas, which distinguished itself from other states by investing all of its MSA funds in health-related programs. Methods.

Results.
