I understand the health effects of tobacco to every individual. It may be removed from the store or not, people will still look for it. There has been a proliferation in recent years of “dollar stores,” stores where many if not all items are one dollar. It would logically follow that shopping there instead of at a normal retail store would save money, but not as much as one might think. The dollar store concept has become a popular one, driven by the slowly-recovering economy. These shops are increasing. If one shop's new strategy for luring in consumers catches on, we may all soon be having our prescriptions filled there, too.

Cool!, I'm going to run down right now and get me a pack of smokes for a dollar!...
