So, is CVS also going to stop selling candy, booze, suntan oil, and certain 'adult' products that promote an Unhealthy Lifestyle?
Or are they hypocrites?

When asked the above question CVS's 'social media' operator replied:

Unlike those products which are okay in moderation, no amount of tobacco use is safe. We know that smoking is the leading cause of illness and death in the US with more than 480,000 deaths annually. Thanks for reaching out.

Not that I smoke or care but...

Meh, CVS is overpriced and has a poor selection. I never go there for anything.
