Juul agrees to $40,000,000 settlement in North Carolina teen marketing lawsuit.

In 2019, federal data found that more than one in four high school students had used an e-cigarette in the past 30 days, up from 11.7 percent just two years prior. As of 2020, that number fell to 19.6 percent of high school students amid greater regulatory scrutiny and the coronavirus pandemic.

Juul will not be able to use anyone in its marketing materials who is younger than 35 years old, nor pay for influencers to promote its products. Under the agreement, Juul will not be able to target its advertising to minors, use anyone in its marketing materials who is younger than 35 years old or pay for influencers to promote its products, among other restrictions. The deal also places limits on the number of devices and pods that North Carolina consumers can buy every month and year. The $40 million will go toward helping teens who are addicted to e-cigarettes, funding preventive programs and the cost of the litigation.

The company also said it looked forward to working with Stein and other manufacturers on developing potential industry-wide marketing practices and that it supported the use of the money to reduce underage use.

If all we ever do is fine these fucks (looking at opioids too), they will gladly continue their practice of sickening their clients and call it a cost of doing business. Start arresting them. I mean, cops kill guys selling loose cigarettes. These guys just pay off the system.
