Quote:Congrats on being cigarette free for 3 years!  While tobacco products are legal, and should remain legal, a lot of things are put into cigarettes that should not be and are harmful to people's health.  

 

My wife is a former smoker.  Though she never smoked much.  A carton would last her about a year.  Still it wasn't a good habit, and she decided to make a decision to quit.   Thankfully she wasn't a smoker long.  It can have an adverse effect on your life.  I saw it with my mother.

 

Honestly, I don't think it's a risky move for CVS.  I'm not sure many people go to the drug store just to pick up cigarettes.  I'm sure many do pick them up while they're there, but doubt they go specifically for cigarettes.  The temptation would probably be there for anybody trying to quit.  Taking that away might just help someone.  And I think that's the purpose of a pharmacy.  
 

I worked as an Assistant Manager at Walgreen's for two years, this is going back 6-7 years now but when I was a manager there I know tobacco was the 2nd largest selling category. Aside from the pharmacy itself the tobacco products where the best selling item at the best profit in almost every store.
