C.V.S. Stopping Sales of Cigarettes

In the United States cigarette sales are falling, but they are still available in stores. The sceond largest pharmacy chain, C.V.S. plans on stopping its sales of cigarettes and products containing tobacco by October. They said that these products have no place in drugstore company which is trying to be more of a health care provider. This is going to be a very expensive push for C.V.S. with their stock dropping 0.65% today (2/5/2014). C.V.S. predicts that it will loose $2 billion dollars in sales. I believe that this is helping America go in a healthier direction.
