Honestly, this irks me !

Look, I know that perhaps it's odd of me.
But, there's something that really irks me
about walking into a PHARMACY
and seeing that they sell cigarettes & cigars. sigh

Yes, I know lots of other businesses sell them and frankly,
most businesses would likely sell heroin,
if it was legal.
It's all about profit, the almighty $
...even if it kills their clients. frustrated

But, a pharmacy ??
I guess I somehow wrongly interpret their existence
as being somewhat in the business of wellness,
focusing on health & beauty.
Don't they employ pharmacists ?
I mean, it's almost like they give their stamp of approval;
"Sure, go ahead and buy cigarettes & cigars. It's OK." doh

What's next, gym's selling tobacco ? Hospitals ? Cancer treatment clinics ? doh

I mean it's bad enough, that people are stupid enough
to waste their money and severely compromise their health
on this addictive cancer-heart attack-stroke.........etc....
causing substance, but a store supposedly focusing on
the path towards wellness somehow irks me even more
than if it was sold at....say a tattoo parlor, or a bar.

To me that would reek (pun intended) of less irony, I guess.
dunno

doh frustrated
absolutey mind boggling my friend,,wonder if the crack pipes are under the counter.......who the hell is regulating this..on the plus side you can buy the cough medicine you,ll need as a smoker at the same time......banana
@Jim..... I agree with you!! but that's why they call it free enterprise, or free marketing whatever term you want to use.
First they sell cigarettes, well knowing at one stage the people come back to buy the expensive medication to stay alive. All politic.
Jim I thought that the other day when I went into the pharmacy and I seen the cigarettes behind the counter. Why the heck to they sell them? So many places of band the smoking, so why would a place that prompts health sell them? But as someone else said it is the greed of money.
The world is full of stupid people and stupid laws. Sell ??cigarettes at pharmacies and convenience stores as well as selling drugs for stop sleeping or sleeping pills to get sleep at convenience stores at the gas stations is also moronic. Another is selling junkfood lunches in cafeterias they call "restaurant" inside hospitals and schools.
That's the stupid world some people is building like the babel Twoer and the Stairway to Heaven. The End is Near !
Yes Dedovix ; men are the wolves of men and greed is their life and fellings!
a drug is a drug · pharmaceuticals kill just as many if not more people than smoking does

Makes perfect sense to sell a drug in a shop full of other drungs
Yeah, thats crazy, but is marijuana any better?
Halv0...is perfectly correct...the drugs being kept in the pharmacy are as toxic as the cigarettes being kept there and would kill you over time as well....I don't see any contradiction here.

They sell Nicorette gum, smoking patches, Zyban...and all these prducts are to do with the quitting of smoking. You might as well complete the circle and include cigarettes....so if you can't cure them, you might as well kill them in the process....it's a win - win don't you think ???
