Illinois to Receive Funding from Juul Settlement

Illinois is part of six states receiving a multimillion-dollar payout in a lawsuit against E-cig maker Juul.

 

The e-cig company is settling claims by the states in which Attorney General claims the vaping company marketed its addictive e-cigs to underage teens. Three years ago, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced his administration was taking the vaping company to court.

 

 

The states that reach settlements with Juul are New Mexico, Colorado, California, New York, and Massachusetts. The vaping company is paying the six states over 4-hundred sixty million dollars to settle the claim. With the lawsuit, Juul has settled in suits with 45 states for more than 1 billion dollars.
