As part of a $438.5 million settlement between JUUL and 32 states and Puerto Rico, Kansas is expected to receive over $9.9 million. This money will be paid out over a period of six to ten years.

This settlement will require JUUL to comply with strict requirements that will limit their marketing and sales practices, including restrictions on where their products can be sold, displayed, and distributed.

The Office of the Attorney General announced that an investigation revealed JUUL intentionally participated in an advertising campaign aimed at attracting young people, which is illegal for use by minors.
