The question - am I right to assume that pharmacies in America are the same as here in Australia i.e. stores in which you have your presciptions filled and buy health related products from? If that is so, why are they selling cigarettes in the first place, in my entire lifetime I have never seen an Australian pharmacy selling cigarettes. It seems totally weird to me.
One of America's largest pharmacy chains will become the first in the country to take cigarettes off its shelves.
CVS Caremark Group says it will stop selling tobacco products at its 7,600 stores by October.
CVS, whose Caremark unit is a major pharmacy benefits manager for corporations and the United States government's Medicare program, says the decision will strengthen its position as a healthcare provider.
