Enormous news this morning! CVS Caremark, the nation's largest drug store chain, has announced it will stop selling tobacco products this year.

We applaud CVS for this bold and courageous move, and thank them for putting the health of their customers above the profits from tobacco. We are especially proud that a Rhode Island-based company is taking the lead here! We hope other drug store chains and pharmacies will follow suit.
