WHAT IS STIC?
STIC sought to keep the public informed of developments in the effort by state attorney general to bring the tobacco industry to justice. Four of the states suing the tobacco industry reached settlements with the tobacco defendants. The remaining states signed a Master Settlement Agreement in November of 1998.

Because this litigation effort by states against the tobacco industry has been settled, STIC now serves as an archive of some of the documents related to the litigation.

STIC is under the direction of former Maine Attorney General James E. Tierney.
