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, AP’s Steve Karnowski reports. 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." "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." Reference Link
