In the largest state settlement ever reached with JUUL, California will receive more than $175 million from the embattled e-cigarette company. Far-reaching in scope, several lawsuits claimed the popular vaping device maker actively targeted youth through advertising and promotional campaigns, a violation of state law. The California Department of Justice joined six other states — Colorado, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and New York — for a total of $462 million in settlements, with California receiving the highest amount.
