WASHINGTON: Walmart Inc told staff on Friday it was discontinuing the sale of e-cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery products at its U.S. stores.
The growing crackdown on e-cigarettes comes on the heels of bans on sales of flavored vaping products in New York and Michigan and after the Trump administration last week announced plans to remove all flavored e-cigarettes from store shelves, as officials warned that sweet flavors had drawn millions of children into nicotine addiction.
One possible culprit identified so far is a line of illicit marijuana vape products sold under the brand names"Dank Vapes" and"Chronic Carts."The New York State Department of Health identified"Dank Vapes" and"Chronic Carts" as products containing Vitamin E acetate, a thickening agent in THC oil that has been a focus in its investigation into the illnesses.
Last week Amazon.com Inc said it took down vape paraphernalia in line with its policies, though the company did not specify the exact products it removed.
