'Severe Problem': Wyoming School District Votes To Sue Juul Labs Over Vaping

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) -- A school district in Wyoming has voted to sue a manufacturer of vaping products. Natrona County School District officials estimate about 60% of their high school students vape regularly. K2 Radio reports the school district has had significant disciplinary issues as a result.

The school board voted Monday to sue Juul Labs, a top manufacturer of vaping products. School board member Dave Applegate says he doesn't like litigation but there's enough information from police and teachers to show that vaping is a "severe problem" in the school district serving Casper and nearby areas.

Juul Labs did not return a message Tuesday seeking comment.
