I heard today that CVS Pharmacy is going to quit selling cigarettes. It's a big step for a business to give up something that brings in so much money. But it makes sense. They are a pharmacy, in the business of helping people with health problems, so why sell something that is so unhealthy.
My husband used to walk around a store with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Managers would come up to him and tell him smoking was not allowed in the store. He would say "It's not lit." They probably thought he was nuts, but as soon as we walked out of the store he lit it.
As CWS posted, some people can live to a very old age as a smoker, and never have any smoke-related illnesses, but who wants to take a chance to see if they will be the one who does. I had a couple family members who were on oxygen. Would disconnect the oxygen to have a cigarette, then put the oxygen back on. That's a terrible way to live.
