North Carolina to Receive $7.8 Million from JUUL for Addiction Prevention and Treatment
North Carolina to receive $7.8 million from e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL for addiction treatment and prevention funding.

According to a report by WXII12, an American media outlet, on December 7th, the state of North Carolina in the United States is set to receive $7.8 million in funds from a lawsuit against e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL. These funds will be used to support addiction treatment and prevention. Prior to this, JUUL had already paid $47.8 million to the state of North Carolina.

 

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein announced the news on December 7th, revealing his plan to hold e-cigarette companies accountable for their marketing and sale of e-cigarettes to adolescents.

 

The agreement with JUUL company demands that the company alter its business practices. These modifications include refraining from marketing to individuals below the age of 21, abstaining from advertising on social media, and confirming the age of individuals purchasing their products.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services in North Carolina will utilize the funds to prevent e-cigarette addiction, aid those already addicted in quitting, and support e-cigarette research. Additionally, JUUL company will be required to publicly disclose certain litigation documents.

 

At a press conference, Stan stated:

 

The e-cigarette epidemic is far from over, and these additional funds will help us safeguard the health of more children. E-cigarettes pose a risk to children's health, and it is imperative that we continue to do everything in our power to keep them away from nicotine.
