NO!!!! You must be mistaken. They said that it was used for anti-smoking stuff. Much like what the other states said.
Here is the joke. I believe the state used the DA's office to get the money (IOW money spent) and the tobacco companies get to write it off, the politicians say "Hey, I did something for you. Vote for me next time." and the money gets used for all sorts of other crap so the elected can say "See there. We gave you all this and didn't raise your taxes. Vote for me.". Everybody's happy.
