Quotes from this article:

Tobacco is a pediatric health problem. Everyone is paying the health care costs of this industry. We would be very disappointed if CalSTRS reverses its position.
Gail Simpson, executive director of the Council for Responsible Public Investment in Oakland, who supports the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) 2000 ban on tobacco holdings.

We've lost over $1 billion with this decision. For retirees, this would be a benefit.
Pat Geyer of the California Retired Teachers Association, urging trustees of the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) to reconsider their 2000 ban on tobacco holdings.
