A place decides to not sell tobacco products.
What’s the problem?

For those addicted, you can still get your fix elsewhere as long as you live.

For those of you who don’t enjoy the stench, please just go elsewhere, don’t begrudge them their dope. It’s a big world and there’s room for everybody and those who smoke will be gone far sooner than otherwise.

Vapor delivery systems would allow the drug fix without the other toxins and stink, but that’s a personal decision. It depends on how alone you want to be.

My goodness! Do all of you realize you are calling for the CONTROL of private citizens LEGAL behavior, choices and actions? Guns, Big Gulps, salt, candy, sugar, cigarettes, alcohol. What’s next?. (Bloomberg’s Citizen Patrol – We’ll spy on folks, and if we see something we don’t think is good for them, why, we’ll just turn them in for you!.)

I know several people who cross state lines to buy gas and tobacco products.
CVS runs the risk of losing business due to customers dissatisfaction. Similar to Escambia County and the state of Florida losing a lot of tax dollars due to extra gas taxes and tobacco taxes.

What happens when they come after whatever it is that you, yourself, choose or like, eat or use? Will you yell just as loudly when YOUR rights and choices are taken away?

“Big industry will kill you quicker than that good ole boy smoking a Marlboro red in front of the Winn Dixie.” Not so! I don’t feel the need to use my inhaler till I get the nasty smoke from tobbacco in my bronchial tubes, lungs and through out my
respiratory system.

I don’t use my inhaler any other time! I fact many times my inhaler will be out of date before I use it all up. On those occassion when I am confronted with second hand smoke I thank God I keep an inhaler in my purse and up to date. I never know when I will need it.

I didn’t ask to be an Asthmatic! It happened, it was not brought on by weight gain or any of the other crap you are spouting. Asthma was something I was born with like thousands of others who are the unlucky to have it!

Can you actually say you were born a smoker? No, you cann’t! You choose to pick up the habit the day you put that first cigarette to your lips, lit it and inhaled.

So stop blaming us non-smokers for making it difficult for you to find a place to light up!

@ me & others who choose to be unhealthy & disrespectful, it may be your right to smoke if you want but it’s our choice for the ones who don’t want to smell your garbage to not be around it or our kids, not judging but you probably don’t have insurance/ don’t care about co pays/ or don’t even go to the dr, but I am one that don’t want me or my kids to have to smell it, smokers are very disrespectful & one of the worst litter bugs, although I do agree for taking all unhealthy products out & drs cutting out some of the meds., they hurt too, not all people on inhalers are fat, but if you go to a dr & your fat, well, personally I think the doc ought to make you exercise to lose weight first then see if you really need that inhaler, because I’ve seen people that just couldn’t breathe without that inhaler, news flash, get off the couch, stop playing video games, start walking, ride a bike or just get out for fresh air & stop trying to play the system, people don’t want to know the truth or be insulted, they just want to have their rights, if it took 10 years to get fat it’s gonna take hard work & years to lose it, instead of getting pills for a bad back when your 100 lbs. over weight, well lose weight, if you are one of those trying to quit smoking or drinking, change your environment & friends because those aren’t gonna help unless its someone who don’t do either but I really don’t see smokers & unsmokers being friends

Its funny that we have people on here complaining about second hand smoke. Here’s a newsflash for you….next time you see that big white blimp flying over Escambia County and you wonder what they are doing? Well they are the EPA and they are doing air quality sampling and guess what? Our air quality is pretty much the lowest in the south and it aint from second hand smoke. Big industry will kill you quicker than that good ole boy smoking a Marlboro red in front of the Winn Dixie.
