Juul will pay $438.5 million to settle an investigation by dozens of US states into the marketing practices blamed for kicking off the teen and youth vaping crisis. <\/p>\n

\u201cJUUL\u2019s cynically calculated advertising campaigns created a new generation of nicotine addicts,\u201d said Connecticut Attorney General William Tong in a statement announcing the deal Tuesday<\/a>. The two-year investigation found Juul marketed to underage users, had misleading packaging that hid the amount of nicotine in its devices, and created a product that could be easily concealed. <\/p>\n

The settlement also puts restrictions on its marketing practices going forward: the company said it won\u2019t fund education programs, include people under 35 in marketing, sell merchandise, or give out free samples. Juul said in a statement<\/a> that the restrictions are in line with its current practices and that the settlement \u201cis a significant part of our ongoing commitment to resolve issues from the past.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain focused on the future,\u201d Juul said in its statement \u2014 a future it says is focused on transitioning adult smokers to vaping and away from traditional cigarettes. But that future is under threat: in June, the Food and Drug Administration rejected<\/a> the company\u2019s application to sell e-cigarettes in the US and said it had to take its products off the market. Juul appealed the decision, and a federal judge said the products could stay on the market pending additional evaluation<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The company is also still facing other lawsuits from multiple other states and from users who say they were harmed by the company\u2019s products. <\/p>\n

Juul quickly became <\/strong>popular with teenagers<\/a> after its launch in 2015, and regulators blamed its fruity flavors and advertising practices for hooking a new generation on nicotine. But Juul went on the retreat after it drew regulatory scrutiny in 2018<\/a> and took all flavors other than tobacco and menthol off the market in 2019. Its popularity gradually declined; now, teens are more interested<\/a> in disposable e-cigarettes, which still have flavors.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s statement won\u2019t stop youth from vaping, Tong said during a press briefing. But after it\u2019s finalized in the next three to four weeks, it will distribute what amounts to a quarter of the company\u2019s annual US sales to 34 states and territories. \u201cWe have essentially taken a big chunk out of what was once a market leader, and by their conduct, a major offender,\u201d Tong said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
