Now, smokers have finally received their payments and are taking to social media to show off the large sums that have been deposited into their bank accounts.
People have flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, and Reddit with screenshots of their payments.
One user revealed that he received a whopping $9,217.
Alongside a photo of his payment on Venmo, he said, “Shout out to the Indian guy who sold Juuls to me and my friends in high school.”
Another smoker revealed he was paid $2,304, while someone else said he received $7,680.
Meanwhile, people on Reddit shared how much they received from the lawsuit.
One person said: ‘I received $3,000 and didn’t provide receipts. I forgot I filed a claim because I didn’t think about it much and I was surprised. It’s so confusing why some people who provided concrete evidence of thousands of dollars in charges receive significantly less than what I received as a claimant who provided no evidence.’
Another user added: “I received $667 today.”
‘Update. I have received mine. ‘$1,900!’ one person commented.

A Juul Labs spokesperson told DailyMail.com: Payment of settlement funds is administered by the Settlement Trust, not directly by Juul Labs.
‘We are pleased to have resolved the vast majority of the company’s previous legal issues and are focused on advancing our mission, including our efforts to combat underage use of our products, which has been reduced by 98% since 2019 according to the most recent government. data.
In 2022, a company spokesperson said: “These agreements represent an important step toward strengthening Juul Labs’ operations and securing the company’s path forward to fulfill its mission of weaning adult smokers away from combustible cigarettes and at the same time combat underage consumption.
The mountain of lawsuits against Juul were filed by school districts, parents of Juul users, municipal governments and Native American tribes who have been affected by what they allege constitutes predatory marketing to teenagers.
In October 2018, Juul gained popularity and dominated more than 70 percent of the US e-cigarette market.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in October that nearly 2.6 million middle and high school students, or 14 percent of all American children between sixth and 12th grade, currently use e-cigarettes.
