According to a report by American media outlet WNCT on January 12th, the Pitt County School District in Greenville, North Carolina has joined multiple school districts in filing a collective lawsuit against e-cigarette manufacturer Juul Labs, starting in August 2023.
Currently, Juul Labs is facing thousands of cases, including class-action lawsuits and cases involving school districts.
Pitt County School District plans to utilize the funds obtained through this lawsuit to address the issue of teenage smoking. Their intention is to install e-cigarette detectors in the restrooms of middle schools and high schools. Research shows that a significant number of students may opt to use e-cigarettes in the restrooms, which could have negative implications for other students with health concerns who frequent these areas.
This measure aims to address the issue of teenage e-cigarette abuse. By installing detectors in school restrooms, the school hopes to effectively monitor and prevent students from using e-cigarettes on campus. Juul Labs has become the focal point of legal actions due to the widespread use of its e-cigarette products among minors. The school district hopes to use the compensation received from this lawsuit to support anti-smoking measures within the school.
