teenagers as customers. ag maura healey. >> juul was out there not to try to get adults to stop smoking, but rather, to try to get young people to start vaping. >> reporter: massachusetts sued juul wednesday, saying the company engaged in deceptive and unfair marketing and sale of its e-cigarette products to youth. healey alleges by running ads on youth-iented websites including nick load lodian, the cartoon network and seventeen magazine. the company also sought to promote celebrities. >> our objective is to be a responsible player in this market. >> reporter: when we sat down with former juul executive ashley jewell in 2018, she insisted those ads were not part of an effort to target youth. did the original campaign appeal too much to younger smokers? >> i can't tell you if it app l appealed to kids or not. it wasn't the intention, but

it's not consistent with the way we are doing things today. >> reporter: in a statement wednesday, juul said it had not yet reviewed the complaint, but is focused on earning the trust of society by working cooperatively with attorneys general, regulators and public health officials to combat underaged use, agenda our customer base is adult smokers. >> juul, unfortunately through its very destructive but effective advertising campaign now has got a generation of kids hooked and addicted. and juul needs to pay for that. >> and the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. make fitness routine with pure protein. high protein low sugar tastes great! high protein low sugar so good! high protein low sugar mmmm, birthday cake! and try pure protein delicious protein shakes about the colonial penn program. here to tell you if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget,

>> enjoy the show. >> thank you. >> reporter: the popcorn guy. >> and you said yes to butter, right? >> reporter: and in some cases -- >> i'll get the door for you. >> reporter: he is even the door guy. this isn't just a business to you, is it? >> correct. it's a passion. >> reporter: at 65, craig has loved movies his whole life. going to the movies as a kid seemed like a turnstile to another world. >> what should i do? >> frankly, my dear, i don't give a damn. >> i remember the first time i saw "gone with the wind." i remember getting in trouble because i sat through it a second time. >> reporter: you watched eight hours of "gone with the wind"? >> yeah, yeah, i did. >> reporter: he became his high school soccer coach. >> we have to set up the oscar party. >> reporter: he is also married to his high school sweetheart, becky. maybe the only thing he loves more than movies is her. >> all right, honey. >> reporter: so she wasn't surprised when about ten years ago he took a leap of faith and turned kingston's old firehouse

into its only movie house. it was risky. kingston only has but 2,000 or so residents. it sits on the shores of apple tree cove just across puget sound from seattle. it's known for its ferry terminal than its downtown night life. but craig persisted. there were some raised eyebrows, friends and family saying you sure you want to do this? >> oh, yeah. you always get that. but even if you fail, at least you tried. >> reporter: try he did. >> you get a hug! >> reporter: and succeeded too. >> see you. >> reporter: at least in making his movie house feel more like a home. >> this place is so special. it's just a cozy community theater that you don't find anymore. >> reporter: little things matter in a little theater like real butter on the popcorn. freezing his junior mints for the real candy connoisseur.

>> welcome, everybody, to the firehouse theater. >> reporter: and greeting the audience in person. >> "star wars: the rise of skywalker". >> he comes in and gives a personal account of the history of the movie. >> it's got the beatles and david bowie singing some of their favorite songs in german. >> and how they made it, who the actors are, actresses. >> reporter: and he does it for every show. even if the theater is practically empty. >> it's a great community service that he does for us, and i think it's hard for him to keep it open. >> reporter: that's the worst kept secret in town. >> this has got my life-savings wrapped up in it. it's about a half million. ran out of money a few times and had to renegotiate a lease and used some credit cards. you know, you just keep plugging on. >> reporter: craig's movie margins were already as slim as the 35 millimeter film he used

to run. then hollywood made him go digital. this is how movies are distributed these days, on hard drives, and the new projectors set him back years on his debt. >> and that was a choice of bankruptcy or not, to be honest. >> reporter: he even stopped taking a paycheck, and the stress soon took its toll. >> i did have a heart attack here. >> reporter: you were at work? >> yeah, i was up in the projection booth, not knowin i was having a heart attack. >> reporter: he came back to work after that, probably earlier than he should have. and word soon got around. >> people are saying when you go, you need to buy popcorn, you need to buy hot dogs. >> two hot dogs? >> two hot dogs. >> okay. >> and a glass of wine. >> you need to do everything to support him. >> thank you. >> reporter: fans of the firehouse aren't about to let it go up in smoke. they've just set up a gofundme page, and organized volunteers to help behind the counter.

>> it was instantaneous. we had a bunch of folks really interested right away. and it just sort of blossomed after that. >> reporter: if craig ever thought his little theater didn't matter -- >> oh my word! >> reporter: watch what happened the day he hosted a "star wars" costume party. >> uh-oh! be good! >> reporter: it was pleasantly chaotic. >> there you go. thank you. i can't hear a thing. >> reporter: the line was out the door. >> you got your ticket? >> it was really touching. they're wonderful people. >> reporter: the movie was are meant to be an escape, a chance to forget about our problems in the dark for a while. but for craig smith, his little movie house has proven that there are plenty of fairy tales offscreen as well. >> i've got a frank capra life here, you know i get to do what i enjoy in life.

you can't have it any better than that. >> welcome, everybody, to the firehouse

right now a mass migration is under way in california. millions of birds, ducks, geese and other water foul are blanketing fields and wetlands across what is known as the pacific flyway. it's a 4,000-mile superhighway linking the arctic and south america. john blackstone has the story from the heart of it all in chico, california. >> reporter: this is what a successful conservation effort looks like, 10,000 snow geese taking a winter break in california's central valley. the central valley is part of what's known as the pacific flyway, used by 10 to 12 million migrating birds each year. more than half of them stop in the central valley, including ducks and geese from the arctic 4,000 miles to the north. some 350 different kinds of birds on their way to mexico and

south america use the pacific flyway, and they are followed by thousands who flock to see them and attend festivals where bird care and bird behavior are all the rage. >> there are days when i go home and i'm far away from the ducks and geese, and that's all i hear ringing in my ears are the sound of the geese. >> reporter: craig isola, deputy director of the national wildlife religion in the heart of the pacific flyway has been helping people sort out one bird from another for 23 years. >> right now out here we're seeing news thousands of northern pintail, american wigeon and shovellers as well. and in the background i've been hearing snow geese flying all day and some cranes flying. >> reporter: as spectacular as the birds are now, they were not always that way. by 1970, agriculture had taken over 95% of the pacific flyway's wetlands, polluting the fields and filling in wetlands. >> there was a competition not just because wildlife and

agriculture, but also just human development in general. in the early 80s, we saw big reduions in water foul populations. >> reporter: an agent of congress and an agreement with mexico and canada in 1986 turned the tide, and so did rice farmers like kurt richter, who agreed to flood their fields when water foul migrate. >> access to winter water is not that difficult, as long as we're not in a drought period. so we have the opportunity to pump water off of the river and shoot it out on to this ground and create what you see behind me here. >> reporter: all together, rice farmers in the central valley flood about 250,000 acres each winter to provide wetlands for birds using the pacific flyway. by the time growing season starts again, the birds will be gone, and the farmers will get their land back, knowing they've given nature a little boost. john blackstone, san francisco. >> fly stuff. and that is the "cbs overnight news" for this friday. for some of you, the news continues. for everyone else, check back
