Marlboro Maker Altria Pulls Flavored E-Cigarettes from Shelves
Altria Group, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes and e-cigarettes, announced October 25 that it would pull its pod-based e-cigarettes from store shelves, at least for now. The move is in response to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) growing concerns over teen e-cigarette use and they’re possible health implications. [1]
The tobacco manufacturer said it would not put the e-cigarette products back on the market until they receive federal clearance or “the youth issue is otherwise addressed.”
