Does Sam’s Club Sell Cigarettes?

Sam’s Club is one of the largest warehouse chains in the United States, and they also sell tobacco products, including cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. However, Sam’s Club does not sell cigarettes to high school students, or even teenagers. This is due to state laws regarding the sale of cigarettes.

In the United States, the minimum age for purchasing tobacco is 18. If you’re under 21, you can purchase tobacco items from stores that do not have a tobacco aisle. However, you’ll need to show identification to purchase tobacco products. However, if you’re 18 or older, you can buy cigarettes at Walmart.

The biggest problem with electronic cigarettes is the potential health risk. Despite being a convenient alternative to smoking, many people develop lung issues after using them. Because of the risks, the retailer is banning the products from Sam’s Club stores. Walmart says that the move is necessary to protect customers from health risks. The company also wants to make a statement on the growing public safety issue surrounding e-cigarettes.

Sam’s Club is a warehouse division of Walmart Inc. Executives discussed the decision in their fourth-quarter earnings call. While they did not elaborate on the number of clubs closing or discontinuing tobacco sales, they did say that it would reduce sales by $6.3 billion. The company also said that it is focusing on its core members – those who earn between $75,000 and $125,000 per year.

In an effort to stop youth tobacco sales, Walmart recently raised the minimum age for tobacco sales. This move was a result of a letter sent by the FDA. The FDA cited the company for not fully prohibiting the sale of tobacco products for minors. Since then, Walmart has gone on to raise the minimum age to purchase tobacco. As of July 1, Walmart is no longer selling tobacco products at its retail locations to anyone under 21 years of age. Those changes will also apply to e-cigarettes.

Walmart has a policy against smoking and has banned the sale of cigarettes in its Florida stores. NBC2 reached out to Walmart to ask about this. Walmart has not released the details. If it does, it will be in a minority of stores. The retailer has 5,000 stores across the U.S.
