The old mom-and-pop pharmacies I used to frequent never did sell cigarettes to begin with. Thus, they were never something I would expect to see in a drug store to begin with.

To add to my previous post, of the two main independent drug-stores my family did business with, one had a history back to about 1905, and the other, from the 1940s. They sold drugs, they had lunch-counters, and they had newstands.

But they did NOT sell grocery items nor cigarettes. So, it just still strikes me as ‘odd’ when I encounter a modern chain pharmacy selling Doritoes, bottled sodas, and cigarettes.
