North Carolina Secures Additional $7.8M in Juul Settlement

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein has announced that the state will receive an additional $7.8 million from e-cigarette maker Juul, bringing the state’s total settlement to $47.8 million. The agreement holds Juul accountable for its role in marketing and selling its products to young people, which Stein’s office has described as sparking a “vaping epidemic.”

“The vaping epidemic is far from over, and these additional funds will help us keep more kids healthy,” said Attorney General Stein. “Vaping is dangerous to kids’ health, and we must continue to do everything in our power to keep them nicotine free.”

Stein was the first attorney general in the nation to secure such an agreement with Juul. The settlement requires the company to make significant changes to its business practices, including prohibiting marketing to individuals under 21, ending social media advertising, and implementing strict age verification for sales.

The settlement funds will be used by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for e-cigarette addiction prevention, cessation programs, and research. Additionally, Juul is required to make a large number of internal documents public, which will be available through a partnership between the University of North Carolina and the University of California, San Francisco, to shed light on the company’s marketing strategies.
