CVS Health (BFL’s Freedom House Program is a CVS Caremark Community Grant program participant) has announced the end of tobacco sales at CVS/pharmacy as of September 3, nearly a month ahead of the previously targeted date of October 1, making CVS/pharmacy the first and only national pharmacy chain to take this step in support of the health and well-being of its patients and customers.

To raise awareness about the benefits of quitting smoking, CVS Health is launching a social campaign – #OneGoodReason – in which the company is  inviting everyone to share their personal stories of how smoking and tobacco use has affected their lives.

CVS Health also released the results of a new study that shows that the enactment of policies to eliminate the sale of tobacco products at retailers with pharmacies will lead to substantially lower rates of smoking with implications for reducing tobacco related deaths.
