Comment on CVS Caremark pharmacies to halt tobacco sales

Comments

probably because they are making enough money selling e-cigs to make up for it.

CVS has always refused to sell e-cigs, as I understand it. They certainly don't right now.

edit: just found this:

CVS does not sell electronic cigarettes, the highly popular but debated devices that deliver nicotine without tobacco and emit a rapidly vanishing vapor instead of smoke. It said it was waiting for guidance on the devices from the Food and Drug Administration, which has expressed interest in regulating e-cigarettes.

Cool, I just assumed they sold e-cigs - thanks for the correction.
