As most of you know, our Allegany Store is in midst of phasing out the sale of cigarettes. We have concluded that the lost profits (and tobacco is profitable) is not worth the harm it does to the smokers. And while we respect your freedom to smoke, if we can nudge you away from smoking it means we get to have you as a customer for a longer time. Which is a win win :)
U.S. Smoking Rate Rises Slightly - WSJ.com:
"A little under 21% of Americans were current cigarette smokers, according to a 2008 national survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A year earlier, 19.8% said they were smoking. It also is the first increase in adult smoking since 1994, experts noted."
