I'm not a smoker and didn't realize some major chains have quit selling tobacco products. Walmart and CVS have already stopped. Can't imagine convenience stores would stop unless laws were passed. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/27/business/stop-shop-tobacco-cigarette-sales/index.html
Great. It’s funny how tobacco is now the death weed yet you can go online and buy all manner of THC from hemp and fry your brain if you are 12 years old.
Do you really think that 12 year olds weren’t smoking pot before legalization. In my youth it being illegal was the appeal.
Bigger problem in the UK is vapes. They were supposed to be items to help ween smokers off cigarettes but ended up being unregulated and making a generation of young people addicted to nicotine instead.
Nasty habit no matter how you cut it. How many prematurely dead people lay in cemeteries due to tobacco?
My hot take is that I think this has more to do with wanting to boost self-checkout more than anything. Not selling things that require ID and have to be secured and all.
Lottery is a voluntary tax on the poor to pay for wealthy white kid's college scholarships. No one says a peep. You'd think the resident socialists here would be up in arms about it.
Who's ever started a post saying "ain't the lottery great?" The Florida Lottery has been around since I was a kid, and you are posting this like it was just passed yesterday. I know conservatives cant understand not being perpetually angry about everything, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about anything passed 36 years ago in a state full of Republicans who use it to paper over the state budget.
Average price is $6.43 a pack, though it varies a lot by state. Cigarette Prices by State in 2024 | Balancing Everything
I remember growing up it seemed the price of a package of cigarettes was almost always the same as a gallon of gas.
You have to be 21 to buy Delta 8 products, just like Delta 9 in 24 US states. I don't know that it's any easier for an underage person to buy it than to buy D8 than the real thing. I would agree that Delta 8 is seriously under regulated, starting with online sales. I tried it once and I was much more impaired than I expected to be.
CVS actually stopped selling tobacco products several years. The products didn't represent a significant percentage of the chain's total sales and it was part of CVS rebranding itself as a provider of healthcare rather than simply as a drugstore chain.
