If CVS truly cares about all the sources of diabetes and other preventable diseases, soda should be the next target.

That's a big "if"....

First of all soda and energy drinks are not addictive like cigarettes...

Nobody walks into a CVS and a clerk puts a gun to the customer head to make them buy a sugar laden drink...

Secondly, soda sales are a HUGE part of CVS profits...

Soft drink companies pay nice sums of marketing funds to display and put their products in the weekly ads promoting their brand...

Getting rid of beer and wine sales would make better sense if CVS has safety and heath concerns...

“Getting rid of beer and wine sales ...”

And get rid of parking lots for those evil gas burning cars.
