Reading 0 firm rows carefully. Some states allow or require firm/employer registration instead of named individuals. A 0 firm count is usually a disclosure-format signal, not proof that no firms are involved.

State disclosure detail

!
Most states register a lobbyist to a client without saying what they lobby on. A few disclose the actual bills or a free-text interest. This is every 2026 tobacco entry from the states that do (), pulled from those state portals. Bill positions are the filer’s own words.

Specific bills tobacco is working on (2026)

Colorado discloses a support/oppose position per bill; Delaware lists the legislation with a plain-language synopsis.

Stated lobbying interests (2026)

Where a state collects a free-text description instead of bill numbers (D.C., Alaska), this is what tobacco clients said they work on.

Method notes

How to read this dashboard.

Visible lobbyist/firm rows

A row listed in a state workbook, not a nationally deduplicated person. One person in five states counts as five visible rows.

ITG Brands & Other

ITG is its own category only from 2026. Historical ITG-like rows (2021=1, 2022=12, 2023=2, 2024=24, 2025=39) were inside Other; Other + ITG falls from 228 (2025) to 171 (2026).

Disclosure context

Three categories: firm rows present; firm/employer allowed but no 2026 firm rows (DC, Illinois); likely individual-disclosure. A disclosure-format warning, not a legal conclusion.

Data status

2026 figures are partial, reflecting filings to date. Do not publish exact claims without checking the source sheets.
