Ok.

I don't smoke anyways so this doesn't bother me too much.
Plus smoking isn't being made illegal, a store/company/health care provider/whatever they're meant to be is simply making a decision to not sell a certain product anymore.

Vaping > Smoking, and it's super-friendly to purchase your kit and juice online (although you should probably go to a smoke shop for your first setup).

The only (only) reason this article concerns me is, my semilocal CVS is the only half-decent liquor store within a hundred miles, and it sounds almost like liquor might be next on their list. After all, it's 'inconsistent with their purpose.'

I wonder how much hate mail they got before they made the decision, though, somewhere in the back of my mind.

Your CVS sells liquor? That doesn't fly down here, only liquor stores can sell the hard stuff. And they're closed on Sunday.

As best as I can recall working at a convience store a few years back, this isn't such a big hit to their pockets. Cigarettes are not that big a money maker for stores, the overhead is expensive. They're there more to get people into the stores, like lottery tickets and beer, in hopes that the customer will spend money on other things that have a higher profit margin.

The United States and every other country in the world should make cigarettes and alcohol illegal.

It's too much of a healthcare cost.

400,000+ people a year die from smoking-related causes.
80,000 Americans alone die a year from alcohol-related causes.
0 people in the history of our universe have died from marijuana.

Interesting true fact for your arousal: Beer is directly responsible for 99% of rapes in the country, and 82% of abortions.

You might want to move to Wisconsin.

Right now I'm sitting in my school's library, I could go outside and find 6 liquor stores within a 5 minute radius.

That is tempting. Really tempting. Beautiful country, lots of booze and cheese and my favorite football team. The snow though..I don't think I'd make it.

If he's in a small town and there are 6 liquor stores in a 5 minute radius, holy shit. We have plenty in the city but the damn things close early and aren't open on Sunday. MY ONLY DAY OFF.

I'm bad at planning, when I want to get drunk it's usually spontaneous.

It's the same here. Supermarkets are the only other place that really even sells beer, aside from actual liquor stores. (The CVS stores around here have no alcohol whatsoever.)

Unhealthy people dying is good for the economy, Griever. Especially if they're elderly.

I have no comprehension of why a pharmacy would sell cigarettes and alcohol in the first place. Really doesn't make any sense.

Stevens Point: Population: 26,000
I can think of 9 for sure liquor stores and about 8 other places to buy alcohol.
Oh yeah, and we have two breweries here too.

Not much else to do up there eh? Especially during the winter I would guess.

That reminds me of when I visited Denver, there was a liquor store on every corner.
