Company decides to stop selling product it was making 2 BILLION a year on

Why would a company give up a product that made it 2 BILLION dollars a year ?

If CAREMARK is part of your name it might be a good decision in the long run.

Here's a quote from that article:

"Ending the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at CVS/pharmacy is the right thing for us to do for our customers and our company to help people on their path to better health," said Larry J. Merlo, President and CEO, CVS Caremark.  "Put simply, the sale of tobacco products is inconsistent with our purpose."

It makes perfect sense to me.
