Minnesota settles $100M lawsuit against Juul and Altria over teen e-cigarette marketing.

Juul and Altria have settled a case with the state of Minnesota, which sued the companies in 2019 for designing products that appeal to youth and get them addicted to nicotine. The state claimed that Juul failed to verify its customers’ ages and ignored children buying and using its products, while Altria supported Juul’s marketing. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed yet, but the state attorney general's office said it will be announced soon. Juul has settled with 48 states and territories, providing over $1 billion to participating states to combat underage use and develop cessation programs.
