Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee filed a lawsuit Thursday in California state court against e-cigarette company JUUL and several of its executives. Harris County is the first governmental entity in Texas to join the nationwide fight to hold JUUL accountable for the deliberate and deceptive marketing of its highly addictive and destructive products to young people.
“JUUL took its marketing plan from the tobacco industry’s template by creating an image that would lure teenagers. JUUL’s vaping devices are designed to appear like a slick, high-tech gadget that’s attractive to young people. The brand even offers kid-friendly flavors like mango and cool mint,” said Harris County Attorney Menefee. “Cigarette companies were long ago barred from engaging in this type of marketing. Our youth do not deserve to be exploited by a company looking for a lifetime of profits. My office will hold JUUL accountable for its exploitative and negligent practices designed to create the next generation of nicotine users. Lawsuits were a major reason that federal regulators finally reined in the cigarette industry, which has caused so much death in this country. I will continue that tradition by making sure JUUL doesn’t get away with the same behavior.”
The lawsuit contends JUUL targeted young people by using social media to showcase the product as a lifestyle brand. The company also adopted a “Make the Switch” campaign to mislead the public that e-cigarettes were benign smoking cessation devices, even though JUUL was never designed to break addictions.
In fact, JUUL’s e-cigarettes were designed to maximize addiction through its patented nicotine delivery mechanism. The CDC’s website warns of nicotine’s harmful effects on the developing brains of adolescents, and how JUUL’s products have also caused lung and cardiovascular injuries. JUUL also took advantage of the loose regulations for e-cigarettes and made sure its products and advertising do not contain any health risk warnings.
As part of this lawsuit, the Harris County Attorney’s Office is also suing cigarette giant Altria, which owns 35% of JUUL and other companies like Philip Morris. Altria was instrumental in helping JUUL develop its marketing tactics, using its well-developed playbook.

Desesperado por conseguir dinero en efectivo para salvar a su madre enferma, Ali, un luchador universitario (George Kosturos, American Wrestler: The Wizard), se adentra en el oculto mundo de las peleas clandestinas. Aunque Ali promete, le falta adiestramiento y recibe una paliza sangrienta. Duke (Sean Patrick Flanery, The Boondock Saints), un entrenador en apuros, se apiada del joven y lo entrena hasta convertirlo en un feroz competidor. Pero ¿será suficiente para hacer de Ali un ganador? Basado en una historia real, este escabroso relato de acción también está protagonizado por Tommy Flanagan (“Sons of Anarchy”).
Una aventura épica sobre una niña decidida que ansía un lugar donde pertenecer y descubre un espíritu afín cuando conoce a un caballo salvaje, Spirit Untamed es el próximo capítulo de la querida historia de DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) nunca conoció realmente a su madre fallecida, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), una intrépida jinete de acrobacias que vivía en Miradero, un pequeño pueblo en el límite de la frontera.
Al igual que su madre, a Lucky no le gustan demasiado las reglas y las restricciones, lo que le ha traído muchos dolores de cabeza a su tía Cora (la ganadora del Premio de la Academia® Julianne Moore). Lucky crece en una ciudad de la Costa Este bajo el ojo atento de Cora, pero cuando la niña tienta a la suerte con demasiadas travesuras arriesgadas, Cora decide que se mudarán de regreso con el padre de Lucky, Jim (el nominado al Oscar® Jake Gyllenhaal), en Miradero.
Lucky no se siente para nada impresionada por el tranquilo pueblito. Pero cambia de opinión cuando conoce a Spirit, un mustang salvaje que comparte su espíritu independiente, y se hace amiga de dos niñas del pueblo que montan a caballo, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) y Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). El padre de Pru se llama Al Granger (el ganador del Emmy Andre Braugher, serie de Fox Brooklyn Nine-Nine), es el dueño del establo y el mejor amigo del padre de Lucky.
Cuando un desalmado adiestrador de caballos (el nominado al Emmy Walton Goggins, serie de FX Justified) y su equipo planean capturar a Spirit y su manada para venderlos y someterlos a una vida de cautiverio y trabajo forzado, Lucky pide ayuda a sus nuevas amigas y emprende valientemente la aventura más grande de su vida para rescatar al caballo que le ofreció libertad y una razón de ser, además de ayudar a Lucky a descubrir una inesperada conexión con el legado de su madre y con su herencia mexicana.
