CVS to discontinue tobacco sales

[McRib]

I'm so glad I'm not a smoker!

I haven't bought a pack in weeks. However, I've bummed a few here and there in a stressed out moment or after a good heavy meal. The price alone now a days is enough to quit. It's ridiculous. I have been trying to get the wife to stop but she's weak and full of excuses. The only time I fall off the non smoking Wagon is when I'm drinking. I'm Soooo not gonna quit drinking!

Who can afford to smoke at these prices? Isn't most of the price a sin tax?

Cvs is saying this is a 2 billion dollar a year decision. I doubt investors are gonna let this happen for long

To to the top line. I'm betting very little of that $2Billion makes it to the bottom. As stated, high gross, low margin product. There's a lot of capital used in selling tobacco. There are no terms to the state. For the wholesalers with a stamp, the minute you stamp it, the taxes are owed. It's a crazy business.

I'm still confused as to why anyone smokes? It stinks, fucks up your breath, your teeth and your skin. Maybe it's that super sexy smoker's cough?
