A group of 28 U.S. attorneys general is urging chief executive officers of five major retailers, including Walmart, to stop selling tobacco products, saying it is contradictory to carry such items in stores that also provide health care services.

What is 'urged' today will be mandatory tomorrow.

Depending on the state, Tobacco taxes range from .2% (SC) to 4.4% (NH) of all TAX revenue.

How about these AGs lobby their state legislatures to refuse all local/state/federal tax revenue generated from cigarette sales?

After all, if it’s contradictory for retailers to offer health care services and profit from tobacco, it must also follow that it’s contradictory for states to do the same.

Eventually everything not banned is compulsory!
