(Austin, TX) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 39 other state attorneys general are launching an investigation into one of the top e-cigarette makers.

Paxton announced the probe of JUUL Labs on Tuesday, claiming they market e-cigarettes to minors.  Paxton says he also wants to know if JUUL hid potential health risks during marketing campaigns and whether e-cigarettes really help people quit smoking.

The Texas AG calls fighting deceptive business practices a high priority for his office.
