Juul Reaches Settlement of Over 5,000 Lawsuits
Wall Street JournalMAY 2023
Not only should Juul be severely penalized through fines, but the fraudulent company should face criminal RICO charges now that we know it was aware of the deceptive nature of its marketing. Children who would otherwise have never smoked have become dangerously addicted. Hopefully this is one of the final steps toward abolishing the e-cigarette industry.
While restricting teens' access to vapes should be a priority, if the government decides to banish Juul from the market it could lead to former smokers returning to old habits. The FDA should consider the needs of both young non-smokers and older former smokers before making any sweeping decisions.
