Professor Banzhaf on a Tobacco-Free CVS

In light of CVS Caremark's recent decision to halt the sale of tobacco products in its stores, Professor John Banzhaf, also known as "Mr. Anti-Smoking," has weighed in on this decision and how it fits into the larger picture of anti-smoking efforts across the country. "The decision is likely to help reduce smoking in at least two ways. First, since so many people get their cigarettes in CVS stores in many regions, they will be forced to shop elsewhere, and any changes in habits may force smokers to rethink their smoking habit, or at least make it somewhat less convenient to indulge it."
