(Reuters) –Walmart Inc has stopped selling cigarettes in certain U.S. shops after years of controversy within its management about tobacco products.

The markets in which cigarettes are being removed from stores include California, Florida, Arkansas and New Mexico, the report https://www.wsj.com/articles/walmart-stops-selling-cigarettes-in-some-stores-11648459800?mod=latest_headlines said, citing people familiar with the matter and store visits.

According to the report, the retailer has created a brand new look with self-checkouts, more candy and grab-and go food near the front, replacing Newport, Marlboro, and other tobacco products.

Walmart (NYSE: ) didn’t immediately reply to Reuters’ request for comment.

CVS in 2014 became the first U.S. drugstore chain to take cigarettes off the shelves, while Walmart decided https://reut.rs/3Nuellp a few years later to halt sales of e-cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery products at its U.S. stores due to growing regulatory complexity and uncertainty.

Many Democratic U.S. Senators also called on Walmart and some other retailers to cease selling tobacco products.
