New Lawsuit Raises Heat on
E-Cigarettes for Tempting Teens
By Rob McCarthy
Los Angeles County has joined a lawsuit
against the popular maker of flavored e-cigarettes
sold by South Bay retailers and online,
alleging the California company focused its
marketing on minors to get them addicted
even though they weren’t old enough to buy.
The announcement by the California Attorney
General’s Office and the L.A. County
District Attorney follows a South Bay vaping
forum held in October that exposed some of
the alleged marketing practices of the vape
industry. High school students told concerned
parents and child advocates that e-cigarette
companies advertise on social media channels
popular with middle and high schoolers.
Those ads have appeared on study websites,
teens said.
The legal action announced Monday is
going after Juul, a San Francisco-based
company that is a major player in the $9
billion-per-year e-cigarette industry. State
Attorney General Xavier Becerra and District
Attorney Jackie Lacey seek to punish the
company for deceptive marketing and failure
to disclose harmful health effects of vaping.
Local physicians said last month that
regular use of e-cigarettes for three months
can lead to an addiction and withdrawal
symptoms when a person tries to quit. The
county and state’s lawsuit alleges that Juul’s
products fail to warn consumers that the
nicotine-laced products, which are inhaled as
a white vapor, contain chemicals and have
serious health risks.
The lawsuit also charges that JuuL failed
to verify the age of California consumers
and violated the privacy rights of minors.
The company kept the email addresses of
minors whom the company knew weren’t
old enough and contacted them anyway with
promotions. Juul used an age verification
process on its website, which is how the
company knew, the suit says.
The use of flavored e-cigarettes, or vaping,
is increasing rapidly among teens and
pre-teens, according to reports from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the Food and Drug Administration. Juul
dominates the U.S. market with more than
64 percent of the sales, according to officials.
That includes adults, some of whom see
vape as a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.
What perturbs public health officials
and state and local leaders is the novelty
of flavored e-cigarettes has created a new
generation of smokers among children who
were not considered at-risk to become nicotine
users. Four deaths from vaping have been
reported in the state.
“We’ve worked too hard, committed our
hard-earned money for too long combatting
harmful tobacco use to stand idly by as we
now lose Californians to vaping and nicotine
addiction,” Becerra said on Monday. “Juul
adopted the tobacco industry’s infamous
playbook, employing advertisements that had
no regard for public health and searching out
vulnerable targets.”
Nearly one in 10 high school students in
LA County report using e-cigarettes, according
to Supervisor Janice Hahn who represents El
Segundo, Westchester, Lynwood and Gardena
in the 4th District.
”With this lawsuit, we are going to hold
Juul accountable for their hand in this public
health crisis and do what we can to stop this
company from creating a new generation of
nicotine addicts,” Hahn said at Monday’s press
conference about the legal action.
Prosecutors filed the lawsuit in Alameda
County Superior Court. Juul’s viral marketing
campaigns led millions of American youth
