CVS Decision to Drop Tobacco Products Creates New Opportunity for Convenience Stores

Source from:  PR Newswire 12/02/2014

It's been a little over a month since CVS drugstores have finished dropping cigarettes and other tobacco products from its stores, but it doesn't seem like other industry leaders are lining up behind them. While many assumed that the decision would make waves in the industry, the fact is that very few people bought cigarettes from drugstores to begin with. According to NPR, only 3.6% of all smokers buy their cigarettes from drugstores. In fact, over 63% of all smokers buy their cigarettes from convenience stores, and with CVS customers now needing somewhere else to go, that number is bound to increase. Successful convenience store owners know these facts and know how important it is to be properly stocked by both a reliable and affordable cigarette wholesale provider like LA Top Distributor.

While the number of people smoking cigarettes has declined greatly in the 1960s through the early 2000s in light of the health concerns that led to the CVS decision, it has seemed to level out at around 19-20 percent of the US population over the last 5 years. While the number may shrink in years to come, at least for now it looks like Americans still have an appetite for tobacco products, and convenience stores are the place to get them. Over 300 billion cigarettes are sold in the United States each year, along with 13 billion cigars. LA Top Distributor is one of Los Angeles' top providers of high quality cigarettes, cigars, and other convenience store products to the stores that need them.
