MSA Compliance

The Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) obligates tobacco manufacturers, in return for a release of past, present, and certain future claims against them as described in the agreement, to pay substantial sums to states (tied, in part, to their volume of sales) and to fund a national foundation devoted to the interests of public health.

In order to be able to sell tobacco product in certain areas tobacco products must be MSA Compliant. HCI Distribution works closely with customers to explain the Master Settlement Agreement, and make sure that the products you buy adhere to the rules set forth in the participating MSA jurisdictions.
