This article outlines the mission and activities of the American Legacy Foundation (Legacy)-the public charity created by the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) between 46 states attorneys general and the tobacco industry. Payments to Legacy are made by the 46 settling states. Legacy has achieved much in its short 5-year tenure and has faced and continues to face challenges. These include the "sunset" clause of the MSA that may terminate payments to Legacy's public education fund-the source of funds for most of Legacy's public education campaigns and grant making, a unique set of MSA provisions intended to rein in the activities of Legacy and rising public expectations in the context of sharply reduced resources. The inextricable link between Legacy, state tobacco control, and the politics of tobacco are discussed.
本文概述了美国遗产基金会（遗产基金会）的使命和活动。该基金会是由46个州的检察长与烟草行业之间达成的《主和解协议》（MSA）所设立的公益慈善机构。46个达成和解的州向遗产基金会付款。遗产基金会在其短短5年的存续期内取得了诸多成就，并且过去面临、现在仍面临挑战。这些挑战包括《主和解协议》中的“日落”条款，该条款可能会终止对遗产基金会公共教育基金的付款，而该基金是遗产基金会大部分公共教育活动和拨款的资金来源；还有《主和解协议》中旨在控制遗产基金会活动的一系列独特条款，以及在资源大幅减少的情况下公众期望不断提高的问题。文中还讨论了遗产基金会、州烟草控制以及烟草政治之间密不可分的联系。
