When do they begin selling marijuana?
Hypocrisy is becoming almost universal.
The quality of tobacco products drug stores sell is not of interest to me, so I won’t miss it, but what’s next? candy?
Isnt Obama a Secret Smoker?
Anyways, They can do what they want. I don’t think Cigarettes made a lot of money for them anyways.
I guess Zero gets his smokes someplace else.
Liberals... Don't you just love'um....
While I am not a smoker I support other people’s right to smoke. I also support the rights of a business to sell or not sell products they choose. BUT I wonder what CVS will do about all the meds they sell that have bad side effects?
Govt now influencing what a business does .
So if this is about health then when shall they get rid of Soda, candy, other drugs they have?
Or maybe this is about trying to put tobacco companies out of business due to them giving to the GOP.
Hope their sales suffer due to this now.
This will only hurt CVS sales. Smokers will simply go somewhere else to purchase their cigarettes (like the gas station). No big deal. You notice the stinking democrats don’t want to outright ban tobacco. They know that the sales tax funds a lot of their liberal agenda.
Greater health hazard - pack of smokes or the morning after pill? Hmmmm.
Our local CVS has a very nice wine section. Several years ago it became MANDITORY to hand your drivers license to the cashier - who swiped it through a reader - to complete the sale. No DL, no sale.
I no longer buy anything from CVS.
I expect all pharmacies to stop selling tobacco within the next year or two.
Under Obamacare the regime controls their access to insurance payments for meds. Thus they can be “nudged” into the regime’s preferred patterns of behavior.
Besides, they need all those tobacco plants to make Ebola drugs...
Good Lord. Men have been using tobacco for nye on I don’t know how many thousands of years.
I believe they just didn’t sale enough of it to keep it stocked.
I don’t get my dip CVS.
I don’t get cough syrup at the QuikStop.
I liked CVS because I could get my prescriptions in two widely-separated cities. Since I no longer leave home, I’m switching to Walgreen’s.
I noticed years ago that Walgreen’s’s ads always (at Christmas) mentioned “Christmas.” I hope that means they’re a good company.
CVS didn’t do this out of any corporate concern. They did this because they hate smokers. This pisses me off even though I don’t smoke.
Can cigarettes be purchased with EBT cards? And if so, why?
I went in and filled a cart with stuff then went to the register and asked for smokes. They said no and I left my cart for them to put away. I might do it again tomorrow.
Tobacco is a Group I carcinogen. It has cardiopulmonary detrimental effects, as well. We know this.
But we cannot make our own decisions. WE are stupid enough to vote into the presidency this man. so there’s the evidence.
Where does he get his cigarettes?
I get mine from CVS. No more.
I smoke about one cigarette per year when I want one and after I wrap up in an outfit that makes me look like Lucy Ricardo. They are smelly. That’s after growing up with a chain smoker who died at an early age of breast cancer...from oral contraceptives. No one else in the family has breast cancer. not out of five daughters. And they won’t. It was from environmental causes, though try to convince them of that. No one talks about the contraceptive-breast CA link.
But I can bet CVS is selling those things and wouldn’t give up that cash cow any sooner than the Royal Ancient Hibernians and the USCCB gave in on inviting LGBT banner into a Catholic parade, AKA St Pat’s celebration.
But Oral contraceptives are as carcinogenic as tobacco.
That’s well known from the WHO, as is the link between breast CA and abortion,
Anyone doubting can also look at the prevalence of Breast CA now compared with 1930s or even compared with the 1970s when the prevalence was as widespread as it is now. That’s because they have done nothing about preventing it.
Women are very happy to jump in and get mammograms and get cut apart. If they knew of the connection, would they?
WEll, CVS won’t drop this item, so people think it must be safe.
That’s wrong.
It’s so hypocritical, as is everything taking over our culture.
Some research:
First are the IARC Group Classifications for agents and their degrees of carcinogenicity:
Group 1 Carcinogenic to humans (107 agents)
Group 2A Probably carcinogenic to humans (59 agents)
Group 2B Possibly carcinogenic to humans (267 agents)
Group 3 Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (508 agents)
Group 4 Probably not carcinogenic to humans (1 agent)

It seems that WHO has taken down the page. However, they have made several expanded pages with a wealth of data. Click here for the links.
The following oral contraceptives are listed along with some other Group I Carcinogens for reference.
From the document:
Estrogen-progestogen menopausal therapy (combined) (Vol. 72, Vol. 91, Vol. 100A; in preparation)
Estrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives (combined) (Vol. 72, Vol. 91, Vol. 100A; in preparation)
(NB: There is also convincing evidence in humans that these agents confer a protective effect against cancer in the endometrium and ovary)
Estrogens, nonsteroidal (Suppl. 7, Vol. 100A; in preparation)
(NB: This evaluation applies to the group of compounds as a whole and not necessarily to all individual compounds within the group)
Estrogens, steroidal (Suppl. 7, Vol. 100A; in preparation)

Oral contraceptives, sequential (Suppl. 7, Vol. 100A; in preparation)
Asbestos [1332-21-4] (Vol. 14, Suppl. 7; 1987)
Benzene [71-43-2] (Vol. 29, Suppl. 7; 1987)
Formaldehyde [50-00-0] (Vol. 88; 2006)

Plutonium-239 and its decay products (may contain plutonium-240 and other isotopes), as aerosols (Vol. 78; 2001)
Radioiodines, short-lived isotopes, including iodine-131, from atomic reactor accidents and nuclear weapons detonation (exposure during childhood) (Vol. 78; 2001)
Radionuclides, a-particle-emitting, internally deposited (Vol. 78; 2001)
(NB: Specific radionuclides for which there is sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity to humans are also listed individually as Group 1 agents)
Radionuclides, b-particle-emitting, internally deposited (Vol. 78; 2001)
(NB: Specific radionuclides for which there is sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity to humans are also listed individually as Group 1 agents)
Radium-224 and its decay products (Vol. 78; 2001)
Radium-226 and its decay products (Vol. 78; 2001)
Radium-228 and its decay products (Vol. 78; 2001)
Radon-222 [10043-92-2] and its decay products (Vol. 43, Vol. 78; 2001)
X- and Gamma (g)-Radiation (Vol. 75; 2000)
Tobacco smoking and tobacco smoke (Vol. 83; 2004)
Most assuredly some are stronger than others. The danger in the less potent carcinogens lies in the propensity for a long-term exposure with its cumulative mutagenic effects.
Also on the list was Chinese salted fish. Not sure what’s in there, but will find out, as it was a staple in grad school.
