Tobacco giant Altria pulls some vaping products from market
October 26, 2018

American tobacco giant Altria, maker of major brands like Marlboro and Chesterfield, said Thursday it will remove certain vaping products from the market amid concerns they may appeal to underage smokers.

The CEO of Altria, Howard Willard, also said he would support raising the federal age to 21 for anyone who wants to purchase electronic cigarettes.

The battery-powered devices heat a nicotine liquid that users inhale, and are gaining popularity in the United States and abroad, particularly among young people.
