In late 2011, the judgment in a 14 year old class action lawsuit entitled Scott v.
American Tobacco Company became final. That judgment ordered certain tobacco companies
to fund a statewide 10-year smoking cessation program to benefit more than 200,000
Louisiana smokers who are members of the plaintiff class (the “Scott Class”). The
recipient of the award was not a single nor group of individuals, but a court-established
and court-supervised smoking cessation program to benefit Louisiana residents who
began their smoking habit before September 1, 1988.The tobacco companies have since
deposited the funds with the Court and the Smoking Cessation Trust (“SCT”) has been
established, all pursuant to the judgment.If you are approved as a MEMBER of the SCOTT CLASS, SCT will arrange for you to receive,
at no cost to you, any of the following cessation services: cessation medications,
individual / group cessation counseling, telephone quit-line support, and/or Intensive
cessation support services. By using these services, evidence suggests that you will
increase the success rate of your attempts to stop smoking, and successfully quit
– for good!If you are currently a Louisiana resident, started smoking prior to September 1, 1988,
and desire to stop smoking cigarettes, APPLY FOR SCOTT CLASS MEMBERSHIP TODAY! We’ll
