I heard that about CVS. There is one a couple of blocks from my house and a Walgreens directly across from my house, so smokers won’t go to CVS, will go to Walgreens.
Exactly what I told this woman, also I told her that the customers lost by CVS would not be just the smokers but also people like me who are sick and tired of controlling tactics. The government says they want everyone to stop smoking while at the same time heavily taxing smokers to pay for their little social programs. And here in Taxifornia we have idiot voters blindly following idiot celebrities like “Meathead” Rob Reiner.
Not necessarily. Some time back Walgreen's had a deal with the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation for "surveying" the customers who purchased tobacco products. Walgreen's require ID and would scan it and send the info to RWJF.
My guess is RWJF money is involved with the CVS decision as well, because they are starting a quit smoking campaign in conjunction with getting rid of tobacco products.
The portfolio that provides RWJF with the majority of its funding is made up of Johnson & Johnson stock - guess what J&J makes? Smoking cessation products.
Yep, and that will include their prescription drugs too.......bad movc on CVS's part.
