Decisions about removing cigarettes at Walmart will be made on a store-by-store basis according to the business and particular market, the company said Monday.
“We are always looking at ways to meet our customers’ needs while still operating an efficient business,” Walmart said in a prepared statement.
Health officials say that cigarette smoking causes about one of every five deaths in the U.S. each year. Walmart Inc., based in Bentonville, Arkansas, announced in 2019 that it was getting out of the vaping business and would stop selling electronic cigarettes at its stores and also at Sam’s Clubs. It said at the time the decision was based on “growing federal, state and local regulatory complexity.”
