Proposition 29 is a proposal in California for a fairly small increase in cigarette tax to raise over $700 million for cancer research.

Big tobacco, naturally, has been throwing literally millions of dollars at fighting Proposition 29 in adverts where they have repeatedly been accused of lying. The vote is in early June.
