		</div><p>Walmart has said it will stop selling electronic cigarettes at its US stores following a string of mysterious illnesses and deaths related to vaping.</p>
<p>America’s largest retailer said that it will complete its exit from e-cigarettes after selling through its current inventory.</p>
<p>The move is due to “growing federal, state and local regulatory complexity” regarding vaping products, the company said.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump has proposed a federal ban on flavoured e-cigarettes and vaping products.</p>
<p>Michigan banned the sale of flavoured e-cigarettes this week. A few local governments, including San Francisco, have passed bans on flavoured tobacco.</p>
<p>E-cigarettes represent a very small part of Walmart’s nicotine business, which also includes traditional cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and nicotine gum. But the vaping industry has come under increased scrutiny after the deaths and illnesses — along with a surge in underage e-cigarette use.</p>
<p>More than 500 people have been diagnosed with breathing illnesses after using e-cigarettes and other vaping devices, according to US health officials. An eighth death was reported this week. But health officials still have not identified the cause.</p>
<div data-google-query-id="CJLhga6q4uQCFSBXFQgd0nMCsg">
<p>In July, Walmart raised the minimum age to purchase tobacco products, including all e-cigarettes, to 21.</p>
<p>It also said then that it was in the process of discontinuing the sale of fruit and dessert-flavoured electronic nicotine delivery systems.</p>
