Some ideologue has blown smoke up their corporate keester telling them it won’t hurt their bottom line. BS.

I can't believe that cigarette sales add a lot to their bottom line. They can't be a high margin item and I doubt that they comprise a lot of their total sales. But by loudly and publicly announcing that they won't sell them anymore CVS is reaping millions in free, positive publicity and probably not losing much in the way of income.

That' funny. It had the opposite effect on me.

It was enough of a consideration to actually state in the article that it will cost them $2Billion in revenue. I don’t call that inconsequential.
