CVS Kicks Smoking Habit
If you're on the CVS Pharmacy email list, you probably got an email yesterday' that said all of its stores were undergoing a big change. When we check out we're used to seeing row and rows of cigarettes and tobacco products behind the counter, and now all of that has been replaced with nicotine gum and other products that help tobacco users quit.
There's a name change for CVS too, but you might not notice it. CVS Caremark has become CVS Health, effective yesterday. If you didn't notice the "Caremark," you probably won't notice the "Health" either. But it's official, and the company says the name change is to reflect its push toward better health overall.
If you have a "good reason" to quit, you can share that with CVS on social media. Do you think other stores will follow suit?
