VUSE Digital Vapor Cigarettes are made for and marketed to adult tobacco consumers, and the only VUSE styles being offered as part of this expansion are regular and menthol. VUSE products are also sold on the same store shelves as other tobacco products – behind the sales counter, requiring a clerk’s assistance to access. Proof of age is required to purchase these products. We shared all of this information and more at a press conference in Denver on June 6.

It is a guiding principle and belief of R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. that minors should never use tobacco products. We also believe that adults who do not use or have quit using tobacco products should not start. To our knowledge, we were never contacted by Colorado Public News or The Durango Herald to provide comment. Had we been contacted, we would have been happy to have provided this and other relevant information. You can also find more information about VUSE at the R.J. Reynolds Vapor company website, online since June 6: http://rjrvapor.com.
