The lawsuit alleges that Juul targeted youth with slick advertising and maximized addiction through efficient nicotine delivery. The lawsuit is working its way through federal court in California, where Juul is based, and alleges that the percentage of high school seniors who reported using nicotine nearly doubled between 2017 and 2018.
