A Long Island teen has filed a class action suit against e-cigarette maker Juul, claiming the company used strategies from the traditional tobacco industry to “manipulate” users to keep them hooked.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Central Islip, 19-year-old Shawn Hochhauser of Massapequa says he started smoking Juul e-cigs when he was 15 years old — drawn to the company’s mango-flavored variety.
