Way to go CVS. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are horrible and should be banned everywhere. I have burried too many family and friends from the devistating effects of tobacco addiction. I hope other stores follow your lead with this choice.
I also commend CVS for this move. It seems incongruous to call yourself a pharmacy while selling products known for lethal and/or addictive properties. I guess that means they should stop selling alcohol, too. And candy and chips and cookies and ice cream. Oh dear….
Maybe they should change their name. ;-)
