Walmart said on Friday, Sept. 20 that it will discontinue sales of electronic cigarettes at its stores and Sam’s Clubs across the United States. This comes as federal agencies probe into a series of illnesses and deaths that are possibly linked to vaping.
“Given the growing federal, state and local regulatory complexity and uncertainty regarding e-cigarettes, we plan to discontinue the sale of electronic nicotine delivery products at all Walmart and Sam’s Club U.S. locations,” the retailer said in a statement sent to media outlets. “We will complete our exit after selling through current inventory.”
