The letter states: “We rely on companies like FedEx to stock our shelves and meet customer demand.” “Due to the inability to wholesale order vaping products or ship products to consumers, vape shops have seen their shipping costs skyrocket or completely disappear.

“FedEx is causing significant harm to small businesses and consumers in the U.S.,” said AVA President Greg Conley. “They are playing into the hands of big tobacco companies that directly benefit from policies that make switching for adult smokers more expensive. Vaping products are not only legal and regulated by the FDA, but they also save lives by keeping people away from combustible cigarettes.”<\/span><\/div>
