Florida schools join nationwide lawsuit against Juul e-cigarettes.
Florida schools join nationwide lawsuit against Juul for targeting underage users with e-cigarettes. Over 1300 districts involved.

Panama City, Florida (WJHG/WECP) - Gulf Coast schools are joining a nationwide lawsuit against e-cigarette company Juul.


Approximately 1,300 American school districts, including several in Florida, are participating in this pollution lawsuit. The goal is to hold JUUL accountable for the use of their respiratory devices by minors.


This survey will take only a few hours within the school district, but could yield a significant amount of funds for improving school resources.


Franklin Harrison, the lawyer for the Gulf Area School Board, stated, "This is a huge issue within our schools. It's a problem that administrators and teachers have to deal with across the country regularly. It's important for them to be aware of what they're doing in terms of marketing.


The first trial is scheduled to take place on November 4 in San Francisco.
