Colorado Allocates $17.4 Million from Juul Labs Lawsuit
Colorado receives $17.4 million from Juul Labs lawsuit to combat youth e-cigarette crisis, announced Attorney General Phil Weiser.

According to a report by The Denver Post on July 9th, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced on Tuesday (the 9th) that 42 schools, government agencies, and non-profit organizations will receive $17.4 million from a nationwide lawsuit against e-cigarette manufacturer Juul Labs. The funds will be used to address the youth vaping crisis.

 

Weiss said, "This funding will enable the community to educate young people about risks, take preventive measures, and provide necessary treatment for those affected.

 

Juul Labs' payment of $31.7 million to Colorado is part of a $462 million settlement the e-cigarette company is paying to six states and the District of Columbia to resolve allegations of illegally marketing e-cigarettes to young people and misrepresenting the health risks of e-cigarette use.

 

According to the 2021 Colorado Children's Health Survey conducted by the state's Department of Public Health and Environment, an estimated 30% of high school students in Colorado have tried vaping e-cigarettes, a slightly higher percentage than the 20.8% of students who have ever smoked cigarettes.

 

The Office of the US Attorney General announced that a series of projects funded by a $17.4 million settlement agreement will focus on education, prevention, and treatment for youth vaping e-cigarettes, including mental and behavioral health services.

 

The Colorado state legal department is planning to allocate $11.4 million to school districts, charter schools, and education service agencies over the next three years.

 

Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova stated, "We are pleased to award this funding to address the youth e-cigarette crisis by providing education, prevention, and treatment resources for Colorado schools. Our goal is to equip local educators with the tools they need to address the impact of e-cigarette use on youth health.
