Walmart announced Wednesday that it will raise the minimum age for tobacco products and e-cigarettes to 21 in the fight against teen nicotine addiction.
The world’s largest retailer also plans to stop selling fruit and dessert-flavored e-cigarettes altogether as part of a plan to prevent minors from buying tobacco.
The new rules will take effect in July 1st, and will also include its Sam’s Club warehouse stores.
Last month, Walgreens also said it would increase the minimum age for tobacco sales to 21.
