Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan Called Out for Selling Cigarettes to Kids

American sporting legends ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan have been called out for selling cigarettes to kids!

According to reporting from the New York Post, the duo are ‘peddling flavored nicotine vapes’ that are immensely popular among teens.

The pushing disposable nicotine vapes are reportedly wrapped in loud, colorful packaging and designs that are more attractive to younger smokers.

The devices are sold in fruity and dessert flavors such as apple gummies, strawberry shortcake and cotton candy.

The two legends both own brands that sell the products – Tyson 2.0 and Immortal by Hulk Hogan.

“For so-called celebrities to be promoting products that are dangerous for kids is a sad day,” Jim Carroll, the White House drug czar under former President Donald Trump, told The Post. 

“Flavor hooks kids on these products,” said Meredith Berkman, cofounder of the advocacy group Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes, adding it was “disheartening” to see Hogan and Tyson using “their likeness to market flavored poison.”

In 2022, 2.5 million youths reported using e-cigarettes, including roughly 14% of all high school students and 3% of middle school students, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
