a day before closing arguments were scheduled to begin, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a news release on Monday.
"In Minnesota, the health and safety of our children is of paramount importance. And yet, JUUL products exposed a whole new generation of kids to the addictive and dangerous drug nicotine. 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 in a statement.
The terms of the settlement are confidential until formal papers are filed with the court, which typically takes about 30 days, Ellison's news release says. A spokesperson issued the following statement to FOX 9 on Monday: "As we reach total resolution of the company’s past, we are focused on our path forward to maximize the value and impact of our product technology and scientific foundation. Our technology already has transitioned over two million adult smokers from combustible cigarettes.
