Fact check
Is it true: JUUL marketing nicotine vapes to minors (2015–2019)?
Yes — this is confirmed.
$462 million multi-state attorney general settlement (December 2022, 33 states) confirms JUUL marketing reached underage users. Congressional document releases from 2019 show internal awareness of youth appeal. FDA denied marketing authorisation June 2022. Teen e-cigarette use rose from 11.7% to 27.5% between 2017 and 2019 (National Youth Tobacco Survey). Federal MDL 2913 consolidated thousands of additional claims. Internal documents mirror tobacco industry strategies for recruiting adolescent users.
