And it sounded like they are still struggling to come up with something to replace that and still generate that kind of revenue.
They want to become a "health care provider" is what executives said.
They better get rid of all that candy and soda as well then.
Exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, they have a large selection of alcohol for sale too. If you're going to cut out one thing because of it's adverse effect on health, you might as well cut out the alcohol, candy, chips, pop, ice cream and other junk food they stock.
It makes sense? Not to me. Cigarettes are a legal product that draw customers to buy other products from the company while they are there to get cigarettes. Do you also advocate CVS quit selling prescription pain meds because they have the potential to be abused? Do you support grocery stores putting limits on ice cream purchases or should stop selling alcohol?
If I was a shareholder in CVS, I would sell my stock.
Nowhere in any grocery store's mission statement (unless, of course, it's a health food store) will you find corporate concern regarding the health of their customers. CVS, on the other hand, wants to become more of a health care provider. And while we can debate the risks and benefits of prescription drugs, they at least are formulated to address certain healthcare needs. What are the health benefits to smoking tobacco?

What are the health benefits of Twizzlers, Potato Chips, or wine coolers that stock their shelves, HJ?
In before the first Republican threatens to boycott CVS for "infringing on freedoms."
As usual you fail to comprehend the republican view . A company has the right to sell or not sell any legal product . CVS has used their right not to sell it .

In the end though they are a drug store, not a healthcare provider.
They don't employ doctors.
They fill prescriptions and are allowed to give certain shots.

You don't necessarily need to have doctors on hand. Nurse practitioners are usually the ones who staff the minute-clinics.
