I think it's a good thing they stopped selling cigs. It just might make the light bulb go off and get someone to quit.

Think I would prefer second hand smoke to a drunk coming at me and my family and even my pets in 3 ton automobile at a high rate of speed with no idea about what he/she is doing. Seems very inconsistent to applaud no tobacco sales while giving a thumbs up to alcohol sales which has caused untold deaths to innocent people, broken families, health problems and many other negative results.

Wonder if CVS refusing to also sell alcohol products might just make someone quit drinking too? Maybe an underage person or a college student wanting to participate in binge drinking would be convinced to not do it if they said no to alcohol sales too which would save them from a life of problems.
