There are 40 million adults in the US who smoke alone. Smoking being the cause of 480,000 deaths every year or one in five people makes it in the top 10 leading causes of death.

One of many responsibilities of a corporation is to maximize shareholder value, the tobacco industry has shown that they are willing and able to act in their own self-interest. In the United States; there is a market for tobacco use, a large agriculture business dedicated to growing tobacco, and a capitalist free market society that allows for many different kinds of businesses. Corporations work within the bounds of the society in which they operate.

American’s spend a startling $156 Billion dollars every year on tobacco and tobacco related products and an additional $133 Billion dollars on healthcare for diseases that originate from smoking and chewing tobacco. The human toll is also significant with a projected 8 million people to die every year by 2030. To combat these extreme statistics CVS Caremark, now CVS Health, has decided to make the hard business decision to stop selling tobacco products in all 7,700 of its drug stores. The decision stemmed from changing its image from a corner store that fills prescriptions to a health care company that is trying to “reinvent the pharmacy to have a more supportive and active role in health care”. To show support for the idea, petitions have been popping up on Change.com like the one by Michael Brochstein of New York, New York who is calling for other drug store giant Walgreens and its subsidiary Duane Read to follow in CVS’s footsteps and stop selling tobacco products also. Proponents of the idea say that if these giants stop selling tobacco then regular purchasers will have to go elsewhere, making it less convenient and possibly making smokers move in the right direction, to quit smoking and hopefully curve the smoking rate as a whole. This is needed because although smoking has been on the decrease since the early 1990’s, recently getting to a low of 18% percent of white males being smokers, it is still an epidemic that kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents,

Tobacco products have been used for chewing and smoking in the North American continent for over a thousand years. Tobacco products have been a part of United Stated history since its colonization. However, although tobacco products have been used for centuries there have been studies done in more recent years that have linked tobacco products to widespread health problems. This has caused controversy in the world today on whether or not tobacco products should be banned in this country. There are many people in favor of keeping tobacco products in production due to monetary concerns. Conversely, there are many people very concerned with the health problems associated with tobacco products. Therefore, one must interpret for themselves if the production, sale, and use of tobacco products is something that is harmful to society and should be banned for its betterment, or something that is helpful to society and not worth getting rid of.

If our decision can further encourage other pharmacy’s to taken upon the same action then we may have a chance at reducing tobacco-related deaths, cancer, and heart disease; as well as health care costs. What is good for our customers is good for us, we have a responsibility to care about their health. With this responsibility we have a chance to change the way people look at tobacco and how they get help with any health problem.

Some effects include increased risk of: coronary heart disease, stroke, death by chronic obstructive lung diseases, innumerable types of cancer, etc. (Disease Control and Prevention, 2013) The chemicals used in tobacco products are deadly, and are responsible for one in every five deaths in the United States. Tobacco products have been proven time and time again to cause devastating health effects, and even loss of the individual’s life, yet people still continue to purchase and use tobacco products. Proper warnings are posted with the Surgeon General’s approval on every tobacco product package that is marketed to the public. Tobacco products are one of the most addictive substances in the world, which is why people may disregard health warnings, and choose to continue to use tobacco products against the Surgeon General’s warning. The chemical nicotine in tobacco products is the primary cause of the strong addiction to the products.

Another risk with high-impact, is for consumer health. Each tobacco company needs to print on product 's packages that smoking kills, the government prevents advertising and prohibits the sale to minors, all this, in order to reduce the impact on the population.

Surely BAT, has an internal group of experts on regulations and trends that the government intends to take. BAT for its part could commit to invest some revenues from sales in the scientific research for health, involving stakeholders.
