The history of CVS

CVS used to be a subsidiary of the Melville Corporation, which was later renamed the CVS Corporation after they sold off its stores that werent pharmacies. When it began, it was a local chain in the Northeast. Within five years, there were 40 CSV locations. 

They really expanded in the early 1970s when they ascquired the Clinton Drug and Discount stores and moved into the Midewst. Today, there are over 9,600 CVS locations across the United States. Recently, they started operating pharmacies inside Target stores. 

CVS decides to stop selling cigarettes

To many people outside the United States, it might seem a little bit odd that you can go to a pharmacy and buy cigarettes. After all, pharmacies are supposed to sell things that are good for your health. But here, its actually something fairly normal and commonplace. 

Still, there were campaigns to stop the sale of cigarettes in CVS locations. The stores continued to sell cigarettes for a while but received heavy criticism. In 2007, their CEO said they were considering stopping selling cigarettes in CVS stores, but hadnt yet made steps to stop it. 

In 2014, it became official: CVS stopped selling not just cigarettes, but also tobacco products at all of its locations. On top of that, they challenged other stores to follow in their foosteps. The day the ban officially began was September 3, 2014.
