| At Walmart, you can buy alcohol, guns, and regular old tobacco. But as of today, you won’t find the mega-retailer stocking e-cigarettes on its shelves. “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. We will complete our exit after selling through current inventory,” Walmart said in an emailed statement. The decision isn’t entirely surprising. So far, the Center for Disease Control has confirmed eight deaths related to vaping, and as of September 17, 530 confirmed and probable cases of lung injury. Meanwhile, both the CDC and Food and Drug Administration are conducting their own investigations into the matter.
