Opioids

20 years ago the tobacco companies sent $200 billion to the states as part of a settlement and this money was to be used for smoking problems. Most of it was spent for other reasons with many states just putting the money in the general fund. Yesterday the opioid companies settled by sending $26 billion to the states to be used for opioid problems. How much of that will end up in the general fund?
