Amid a government crackdown and rising health concerns, CBS, WarnerMedia and Viacom reportedly will no longer air TV commercials for electronic cigarettes.
In another blow to the vaping industry, CBS Corp., WarnerMedia and Viacom Inc. reportedly said Wednesday that they will no longer air commercials for electronic cigarettes.
CNBC first reported the network bans Wednesday, which come after the Daily Beast reported Friday that CNN — a unit of AT&T’s T, -1.08% WarnerMedia — would stop airing commercials for vaping products. The New York Times confirmed CNBC’s report.“Given warnings from the CDC, the AMA and the American Lung Association to consumers, our company has revised its policies regarding e-cigarette advertising, and will no longer accept advertising for this category,” a WarnerMedia spokesperson told CNBC.
The Trump administration has also announced it will crack down on vaping, targeting flavored e-cigarettes that appeal to youths.
