Sign APHA's petition: No tobacco sales in stores with pharmacies and clinics

12 Mar 2014 1:36 PM | Deleted user

Tobacco is the only product that, when used as directed, kills. Every year, more than 480,000 Americans die, millions more get sick and health care and related costs reach more than $289 billion due to tobacco use.
   
Target, Wegmans and, most recently, CVS Caremark have all done the right thing – they removed tobacco from their shelves. We applaud their courage and believe that together we can build on this momentum. APHA is asking all pharmacies and retailers in the business of wellness to put their customers’ health ahead of profits from tobacco. Join us.

clinics

 
Please add your voice to the growing number of people and organizations working to stop the epidemic of tobacco. Sign APHA’s petition and share it with family and friends.
 
Together we will make the U.S. the healthiest nation in one generation.

Sincerely,

Susan L. Polan, PhD
APHA associate executive director, public affairs and advocacy
