I was thinking the same thing.

I could imagine one argument in favor of this change might have gone something like "Sure we'll lose tobacco revenue now but if our customers live longer into their pharma-consumption years, we'll more than compensate for that loss."

They're currently building what I believe will be a new MinuteClinic inside the CVS near me.
