Who Cares?

So, CVS says to their smoking customers that they are not good enough to shop there.
Do you think any of these people are going to stop smoking?
Or will the smokers just go across the street and buy their smokes at the local gas station or Wal-Mart or local grocery store.
From the LVRJ: CVS, the nation’s second-largest drugstore chain, is kicking the habit of selling tobacco products as it continues to shift its focus toward being more of a health care provider.
The company said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide, in a move that will help grow its business that works with doctors, hospitals and others to improve customers’ health.
The move is the latest evidence of a big push in the drugstore industry that has been taking place over several years. Major drugstore chains have been adding in-store clinics and expanding their health care offerings. Their pharmacists deliver flu shots and other immunizations, and their clinics now manage chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes and treat relatively minor problems like sinus infections.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/cvs-drugstores-phase-out-tobacco-sales
CVS used to be my pharmacy, but their lack of medication when I needed it and their sky high prices outside their pharmacy made me go elsewhere.
And I don't smoke, in case you were wondering.
