MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota announced a settlement Monday in its lawsuit against Juul Labs and tobacco giant Altria — the first of thousands of cases against the e-cigarette maker to reach trial — just ahead of closing arguments. The terms will be kept confidential until formal papers are publicly filed with the court in 30 days, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement.
“After three weeks of trial highlighting and bringing into the public record the actions that JUUL and Altria took that contributed to the youth vaping epidemic, we reached a settlement in the best interest of Minnesotans,” Ellison said. “Right now, the terms of the final settlement are not public, but we will announce them soon. When we do, it will be alongside those harmed, the community, elected officials, and others responsible for protecting our children.
So the State allows tobacco products to be sold, makes big money off of tobacco products via taxes; and then pockets the money from lawsuits for the harm the product does to the public. That's a great grift.
In the meantime the fda has authorized two new cigarettes for human consumption. Just 2 more FDA approved tobacco products that kill 480,000 US citizens a year. State, local & fed gv & healthcare make about a trillion dollars a year from selling and treating tobacco use.
