Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Kroger Co. will stop selling electronic cigarettes, making them the latest retailers to take action in the wake of the outbreak of vaping-related lung injuries.

“We have made the decision to stop selling e-cigarette products at our stores nationwide” as federal health officials continue to study the issue, a Walgreens spokesman said in an email Monday. The drugstore chain, which operates thousands of locations around the U.S., will still sell regular cigarettes.
