"CVS, the nation's second largest pharmacy chain, said Wednesday that it would stop selling all cigarettes and tobacco products nationwide by October, saying they have no place in a drugstore company that is trying to become more of a health-care provider.
The news is another blow to the $100 billion tobacco industry that is wrestling with slumping sales, rising taxes, widening smoking bans and a resurgence of public information campaigns highlighting the perils of smoking."
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.
And not screw up my prescriptions 3 out of every 5 times. I'd changed but unfortunately my insurer has a supplier agreement with them so I and about 15000 other people are stuck.
