NJOY expands to over 80,000 stores, plans to reach 100,000 by year-end with FDA-approved menthol e-cigarette products.

According to a report by CSPdaily News on June 26, it was revealed that NJOY, a subsidiary of Altria (Altria Group, Inc.), has expanded its sales network to over 80,000 retail stores in the first quarter of 2024. The company recently emphasized that they expect to "expand to approximately 100,000 retail stores by the end of the year.

NJOY continues to roll out its first retail trade program, aimed at helping the brand achieve optimal visibility and product placement in the retail market.

This expansion also comes with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting marketing authorization to NJOY LLC for four menthol-flavored e-cigarette products, including NJOY ACE Pod Menthol 2.4%, NJOY ACE Pod Menthol 5%, NJOY DAILY Menthol 4.5%, and NJOY DAILY EXTRA Menthol 6%.

With the addition of NJOY menthol e-cigarette products, we now have a unique FDA-authorized product lineup to support adult smokers transitioning to smoke-free alternatives. We believe these marketing authorizations demonstrate the quality of NJOY products and the strength of evidence supporting the authorized NJOYmint e-cigarette products.

The senior vice president of regulatory affairs at the Aochiya Customer Service Company, Paige Magness, stated that...

The FDA has approved NJOY menthol-flavored e-cigarette product, providing a regulated alternative for adult smokers and e-cigarette users to replace the currently available illegal flavored disposable e-cigarette products on the market. We believe the marketing approval of NJOY mint is a positive outcome for public health.
