Walgreens says it will no longer sell vaping products.

The nation's largest drugstore chain, with nearly 250 stores across New York State, will discontinue sales of e-cigarettes because of the uncertain regulatory environment.

The vaping industry has come under scrutiny after at least 18 people have died and more than 1,000 people have been sickened with vaping-related illnesses.

Walmart made a similar announcement in September. Walgreens will continue to sell traditional cigarettes.
