Tobacco cost recovery was started by individual class actions in Quebec brought by victims of tobacco-related diseases. Then the provinces stepped in with lawsuits of their own. B.C. was the first. When the legal precedent was set that cost recovery could happen with tobacco companies, B.C. first stepped in with legislation that recovered the costs from tobacco companies, specifically targeting the costs the B.C. government was burdened with for its health care spend.
We're seeing this as well, now, in New York and Vermont, specifically for climate damages. They are basing the contributions of the cost on historical emissions. Based on those, the emitters will pay into the fund, which is then paid out. The funds will be used for adaptation and resilience measures. That hasn't happened yet. It's in the early stages in these states, so we still have to see how it actually plays out.
