I haven't brought up politics one bit. I'm talking pure profitability to CVS. What happens after the purchase I can care less about and have not even brought up in this conversation. Alcohol has a huge profit margin so why would they stop selling something that affects their bottom line. As stated, Cigs have a LOW profit margin! The goal in business is to have a Hight Profit Margin hence the decision to rid themselves of tobacco. If CVS wants to pass that on as social responsibility, then that's their call but in reality, they're probably not making enough money off them.
