The drugstore chain CVS has announced it will stop selling tobacco products in its thousands of U.S. stores. CVS Executive Vice President Troyen Brennan says the company has decided the sale of cigarettes does not fit in a healthcare setting.

Troyen Brennan: “We’re part of the overall healthcare team. It’s really antithetical, as a result, to have a product in our store, tobacco, which actually causes these kinds of diseases. So that’s why it’s so important for us to eliminate the sale of tobacco products today.”
