Do NPMs generate any revenue for the states?
Yes. The states receive millions in taxes and economic multipliers from NPM manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of these products. These companies employ American workers, build the economy and many make it a point to use American tobacco. Many the Big Tobacco manufacturers are shifting more tobacco purchases and manufacturing overseas. Many NPMs are working for a mechanism through which they can pay their escrow payments to each state in which they do business. Big Tobacco says its concerned about the state losing MSA payments. MSA signatory companies show their true colors when they work to block the efforts of NPMs to make these payments direct to the states.
