ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: E-cigarette maker Juul Labs has tentatively agreed to a settlement of $438.5 million for marketing its products to young people.
On Tuesday, electronic cigarette maker Juul Labs agreed to pay nearly $440 million to, contributing to an epidemic of teen vaping use in recent years.
You co-authored a study earlier this year about e-cigarette use, focusing on Juul products. What did your research find?Surprisingly, my research team found that mice that inhaled different types of aerosols produced from the Juul devices developed a lot of different changes across their body. Particularly, they developed inflammation in their brain in the areas where we control our mood and our emotions, and even memory.
I hope so, because I think it again shines a light on the fact that this company intentionally worked to engage youth and get them hooked on these devices. And I think getting that word out there is important for parents and teachers and society in general to understand that nobody wants to target our kids in this way. I'm hopeful that it helps us that way. The second thing that I think it will help is that a lot of cities and states are working to ban flavors.
