Juul Settles Major Lawsuit, Accepting Blame and Restrictions for Youth Vaping Epidemic

Juul Labs agreed to pay a $462 million settlement to six states and Washington DC for illegally targeting young users in its advertising and marketing practices.
The settlement includes strict restrictions on Juul's ability to market and sell to minors going forward in order to curb underage vaping.
Juul's irresponsible and predatory marketing fueled a teen vaping epidemic, according to the attorneys general involved in the settlement.
The company continues to face lawsuits from additional states and local governments for its role in the public health crisis.
Funds from the settlement will support programs to prevent and reduce youth vaping and nicotine addiction.
