A certain wide-spread drug store chain is big on advertising that, for the health of their customers, they will no longer sell tobacco products. That's fine, their store, their product line, no problem.
Yet, in their advertising supplement in the newspaper today, they have prominent ads for CANDY, SODA POP(in 2 liter bottles), WINE, and BEER!
AND, of course, since they ARE a "drug" store (or pharmacy), they also advertise "nutritional supplements" that may or may not be of any value.
They even sell highly caffeinated and sugared "pep boost" drinks!
I wonder, when (and if) the other "drug stores" jump on the "no tobacco" band wagon, will they still brag about the fact that THEY don't sell it?
Or, will they only make a big deal about it as long as they are the only one doing it?
Yeah, they "care about the health of their customers", but they still sell junk food and drink!
I wonder how many of those stores are selling NFL memorabilia. The average NFL player has a shorter life span than the average smoker.
Fascism is here, folks. Big government decides what big business can say or do. If tobacco is out of fashion in DC, then big business is going to have to jettison tobacco.
To be fair, I don't think "Government" told them to stop selling cigarettes.....they decided to do that on their own! Still plenty of places to buy them!

And CVS won't carry electronic cigarettes Those things are an anecdotally proven antidote to smoking tobacco.
