Walmart to stop sales of e-cigarettes in US stores: Company memo

WASHINGTON: Walmart Inc told staff on Friday it will stop selling e-cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery products at its US stores, amid a growing crackdown on surging teenage use of such products, reports of vaping-related lung disease and some deaths.

President Donald Trump and other top US officials also expressed concern about the growing use of such products as health officials investigate the matter. 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 of the illnesses.Leading makers of nicotine e-cigarettes, including Juul Labs, British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands, said last week their products did not contain Vitamin E compounds.

In May, Walmart raised the minimum age to purchase tobacco products to 21 in all its stores and said it would stop selling fruit-flavoured e-cigarettes. The move came after the US Food and Drug Administration called out the company for illegally selling tobacco products to minors.
