So people were unable to buy from us what we did not offer and that means that they quit consuming that item.

So my butcher thinks I no longer eat carbs and my baker thinks I have become vegetarian? Nah. They are smarter than these guys.

"When we removed tobacco from our shelves, a significant number of our customers simply stopped buying and hopefully smoking cigarettes altogether . . ."

Just more of the liberals "look you in the eye and lie, knowing that you know they lie, but not giving a damn." routine that they usually use in political statements.

The local Mini Pet Marts sell a lot of tobacco. I guess if your pit bull starts jonesin’ for some second-hand smoke you better be prepared.

In other fake news, seven states have declared bankruptcy because their cigarette tax revenue was crushed by the CVS store decisions.

As a result the number of homeless increased in the cities of those states.

Propaganda goes both ways!

What a stupid statement. And just a reminder...they still sell the patches...which is simply a "hit for a price"...and they're super expensive. Now we know drugs are more profitable than heavily taxed cigarettes.

Yes..CVS saved the world!!

CVS is outrageously expense.

Example:
CVS house-brand antacid - 96 count - $4.99.
Kroger house-brand antacid - 96 count. $1.99.

“...those who purchased cigarettes exclusively at CVS Pharmacy were 38% more likely to stop buying cigarettes,...”

This sounds very much like democrat voters. They are easily manipulated.

Some one needs to sue CVS for selling antibiotics, heart medication, prophylactics of every kind, and antidepressants!

If they would just stop this nonsense a lot of people in the world would be a lot healthier and happier.

The tabacco section at the local drug store where I grew up was interesting. In addition to cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tabaccos and all their accessories, they carried all manners of chewing tabacco from the tame Skoal and RedMan tins and pouches to real twists of uncut plug cut and actual powdered snuff.

All that is gone nowadays.

Some c-stores around Des Moines have what I think are stunning arrays of tobacco products. Dozens of types of chewing tobacco and snuff in coolers, dozens of kinds of flavored cheap cigars up to Macanudo and Paratgas single packs. Not to mention a dozen brands of cigarettes and vaping stuff.
