Minnesota Settles Lawsuit Against Two Major Tobacco Companies For $81M

The state of Minnesota has settled its lawsuit against two major tobacco companies for an agreed-upon sum of $81 million.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's Office announced the settlement with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and ITG Brands on Thursday.

"Two decades ago, Big Tobacco made a commitment to the people of Minnesota. We fought and won to make sure they keep that commitment," Ellison said.
