cvs health stops selling tobacco Health's commitment to a tobacco-free future CVS stops selling tobacco, offers

Asked Wednesday about the reaction of tobacco executives to the decision, CVS Caremarks Merlo said they were disappointed

To date, most independent pharmacies, which are a dwindling breed, do not sell tobacco products

CVS still stocks its shelves with sugary snacks and other foods that are considered unhealthy

After all, avid smokers can certainly purchase them in grocery stores, liquor stores, or Walmart--the largest seller of cigarettes nationwide

We commend CVS for putting public health ahead of their bottom line and recognizing the need for pharmacies to focus on supporting health and wellness instead of contributing to disease and death caused by tobacco use, the American Medical Association said
