JUUL Lawsuit in West Virginia and Additional Injury

While smoking is seriously injurious to health, there are many teenagers and adults who love vaping e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes or e-cigs are vaping products. They look like cigarettes, pens, USB drives, and so on. These devices carry nicotine in a liquid with some added flavors. This liquid is heated with the use of a battery and heating coil. This liquid turns into a vapor that can be inhaled. That is why these are called vaping products.

JUUL is the most common form of e-cigarette that is often used by many. This looks like a cigarette, pen, USB flash drive, and so on. This device contains a dangerously high level of nicotine. A single JUUL contains the nicotine of the entire packet of a traditional cigarette. Also, these JUUL pods come with a much higher concentrated amount of nicotine than a cigarette. This type of nicotine is absorbed by the body more.

The JUUL lawsuits claim that the manufacturing company JUUL knew about the fact about concentrated nicotine and how harmful it can be and yet they marketed the product deceptively among teenagers and young adults leading them to the exposure of more risks from concentrated nicotine.

Things to Know About JUUL Lawsuit

Many government agencies as well as many lawsuits have accused JUUL of deceptive marketing and targeting teenagers and young adults while exposing them to serious nicotine addiction. In 2017 and 2018, when JUUL first started its marketing campaign, they released advertisements where young adult people were shown smoking and enjoying JUUL products in various settings. They have also used social media for creating the market buzz with the introduction of the flavors like mint, crème, and fruit.

The lawsuit claims that the JUUL products are designed in a portable manner so that they can be carried easily in the palm. As the vapor doesn’t create any odor, people can keep vaping anywhere. The device delivers nicotine in an expedited manner, causing more problems for the one who is using. The deceptive marketing was targeted so that teenagers find JUUL products as safe alternatives to the cigarette.

The JUUL marketing was very successful resulting in 3.6 million middle and high school kids were using e-cigarettes in 2018 while the smoking rate dropped 3.6% in the same year. More and more young people found this to be their preferred choice.
