Abstract:

For years tobacco was life in eastern North Carolina, and today is no different. However, tobacco is paying the bills in a different way. To address chronic tobacco-caused health problems and improve life in formerly tobacco-dependent counties, tobacco companies provide funds to agencies such as the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund and the Golden LEAF.
