CVS is trying to steal our thunder.

Apparently the decline in smoking is because they don't sell cigarettes anymore. lol

LOL...yeah they definitely didn't walk across the street to Walgreens or the gas station and buy them...just quit on the spot...

That's funny. I hate CVS. Their computers are always down. I go to Walgreens and avoid CVS like the plague. I have bought cigars at CVS though.

They can try to steal it but not many are buying their BS. Read a couple that are pointing their fingers at ecigs as having the major impact. By their reasoning, they're contributing greatly to the alcoholism problem.

Guys, they might be right! One time I walked into a McDonalds to get a Big Mac and a Coke. They were out of ice and the next day I heard about Global Warming!

I'm not saying McDonald's brought on Global Warming, but you can't deny the connection!!!

LOL... I had decided to just stop going to CVS altogether. Then my health insurance switched my prescription plan to CVS Caremark... no more WalGreens for me... even the universe is against my self-inflicted petitioning of businesses... smh

CVS did help here in my town! Right next door in the same strip mall is a Vape shop!

CVS is just trying to save face. Ever since they announced they would no longer be selling cigarettes, their profits have dropped. They believed increased prescription sales would make up for lost sales from cigarettes. It hasn't happened. CVS is just trying to put positive spin on their poor decision.

 

[pennysmalls]

Yeah cause we can trust the results of a study done by CVS itself. This deserves two face palms.

 

[crxess]

Yea, my company insurance went CVS CareMark...........

Some careful reading and a few calls and Walgreen takes my card!!!

CVS in this area is absolutely abysmal.

When I was a smoker in college if the nearest convenience store was out of my brand and packaging of cigarettes (I preferred a soft pack) I would walk an extra mile in the rain to a gas station to get it.

Buying smokes in a store. Some real OG stuff right there for a NYer.

I been buying bootlegs out of the truck of a car for so many years I forgot some states sell them in stores.

Strangely, CVS has noticed a large increase in cotton ball and glycerin sales over the past 3 years.

Personally, I have no need for anyone that tries to socially engineer society.

And I`m not surprised by their spin. Cause that`s what they do.

 

[RebornLincoln06]

Yeah, because I TOTALLY stopped giving people money to buy me cigarettes when I was 16 because the store I went to was out of them.... *facepalm*

True, they will bury me with that cheap Vodka that is always on sale in liter sizes.

 

[MaxwellPink]

1% is a big impact? Must be the new math.

Did people actually buy cigarettes in CVS? I can't say I ever did, unless I was buying a birthday card or something. I've never been a drug store customer though.

I have to say I never bought cigarettes at CVS, though when I was looking into vaping, I tried to get a Blu disposable from them, they did not carry'em, so I went to Walgreens and got one there. This was the start of my journey to quitting cigarettes through vaping.

Hmmm, so I guess CVS is right, they did in fact lose a sale and I quit smoking.

 

[Grimwald]

OK, this forum is full of ex-smokers. Anyone who regularly bought their smokes at CVS (or any drug store) please raise your hand. Anyone, anyone, Bueller. Yeah, that's what I thought.
