Tobacco filing shape

Tobacco (TOB) averages $663K per filer, high per-registrant intensity on this code.

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION leads this issue's filer table with $47.6M in all-issue lobbying; filings remain spread across 10 named organizations rather than collapsing into one registrant.

With fewer filers on Tobacco, each quarterly disclosure carries more weight, and a small shift in registrant count can change the visible lobbying picture quickly.
