Ad against Prop. 56 claiming it 'cheats' schools is deceptive

This is one in a series of fact-checks of ads running this election season:

WHAT'S THE AD ABOUT? It targets Proposition 56, which would raise the state's tobacco tax $2 a pack and include comparable increases on other forms of tobacco and e-cigarettes. If the measure passes, it would be the first hike in the state tobacco tax since 1999.
