U.S. Vaping Giant Juul Faces Another Lawsuit from New York State
Following California’s lawsuit against Juul, New York State has also sued the vaping giant, accusing it of glamorizing vaping to young people while downplaying the health risks of its high-nicotine products.
Following California's announcement on the 18th to sue e-cigarette giant JUUL, New York State joined the lawsuit on the 19th. New York State accuses JUUL of “glamorizing” e-cigarette products in its marketing campaigns and downplaying the health threats posed by the high nicotine content of its products to young people.<\/span><\/div>

New York State Attorney General Letitia James: “More and more kids are starting to use e-cigarettes, and we know that regardless of how e-cigarettes work, nicotine is addictive and harmful. It is especially harmful to our youth. Now, nearly an entire generation of young Americans is addicted to nicotine. A recent national survey on youth tobacco use shows that approximately 4.1 million high school students and 1.2 million middle school students are using e-cigarettes.<\/span><\/div>

James stated that JUUL currently holds a 70% market share in the e-cigarette market, making it the absolute leader in the industry. JUUL has misled consumers regarding the nicotine content of its e-cigarette products, claiming that its products are safer than cigarettes. JUUL's advertising has greatly exacerbated the public health crisis, leading to more young people becoming addicted to e-cigarettes and facing significant health risks.<\/span><\/div>

In response to the health threats posed by e-cigarettes to young people, California was the first to announce a lawsuit against e-cigarette giant JUUL and other e-cigarette companies, accusing the company of deliberately targeting youth in its early advertising campaigns.<\/span><\/div>

Additionally, according to a local Russian media report, Apple has decided to remove all e-cigarette-related applications from its app store. It is understood that some mobile apps allow users to control the temperature of e-cigarettes, turn them on and off, and some apps provide information and games related to e-cigarettes.<\/span><\/div>
