What a bold move for big business who will now lose billions by doing so. I applaud them. We need more business doign things like that, matters of principle, cigs are bad for you and kill so many every year. I keep praying that we as humans will eat better and treat our bodies better and not eat junk food, smoke, use drugs, or do things that harm us or has future effects.

Now I just wish big pharma and doctors would look for "real" cures for illness and stop pushing so many drugs that never really cure us, good nutrition and homeopathy are ways to cure, without all these drugs, more big business. Bravo to CVS, now will big pharma and doctors step up too?

I'm certainly not in favor of smoking, but are they going to get rid of the soda and the chips? If not, than this is not really a move for public health.
