CVS to win big by stop selling cigarettes

Medical Conditions? No. Phyiscal severe pains from old injuries? Yes. You see, tearing an ACL takes time, and even then, there is the risk of inflammatory pain, which is very painful itself, and after that goes away, I still have to do things a certain way so as not to harm either knee and watch both ACL muscles, as overdoing it CAN be very painful.

Oh I see, inflammatory pain can treat with strong NSAID (larger dose of Aleve).

but kidney stone is one of worst pain ever, so bad as labor pain. The severe pain from kidney stone caused me to consider about commit suicide if I couldn't get medical attention, especially in emergency room.

If you had kidney stone so you would never want to have experience like that.
 
Wait til you get spinal pain, lower back pain is nothing to me and yes I have them from time to time. Cervical spine?, CHRIST! Its insane! I would love trade with anyone who got good cervical spine.

I have had lower back pain before, and that's one of the worst pains ever to have-- it can literally immobilize you for MONTHS. Happened to me during the winter of 2010-11 when I was stuck not doing much for nearly 4 months.

Kidney stone doesn't only cause lower back pain, also it will cause worst pelvis pain ever so I cannot sit down or lay down at all. I was SCREAM very loudly in car and had difficult to sit down, as on way to hospital and the nurse had to inject the strong painkiller medicine in my buttocks, right after arrived in emergency room.

Kidney stone (combination of lower back pain + pelvis pain)

Is cervical spine issue, caused by your family history? My mother has moderate spinal pain (neck) sometime.
 
No, it is work related injury. I had no problem until about 3 years ago, bam! it hit me hard… What did I do? Sit and doing my job! No fall, no accident, no nothing just out of blue.

Oh wow, my mother has moderate neck pain sometime, but she got vaccine in her neck to treat the pain twice and worked for her.
 
If you had them already in the past, it will come back to you… Unless you take good care of yourself, then maybe not. It only worsen when you get older.

Vaccine? Thats for virus not pain. LOL Perhaps the painkiller injection in neck is what you mean. That one was offered to me, I turned down and opt for other treatment.

Already has. That's why I am active year around, despite where I live, because sitting on my bum does me no favors, and staying active keeps my back loose.

Oh wow, my most worry is diabetes. :ugh:

It is difficult to determine if I'm on high risk for diabetes because of my father, but I was obese before and my sugar blood was very normal, so my primary doctor doesn't believe that I'm on high risk for diabetes due to family history (my father). Even, I consumed a lot of sugary foods before too but my sugar blood is very good.

Other one is Usher Syndrome. I like to trade with good vision, so I hate to lose the driver license and I dislike to ride on public transportation.

And chucking out the tobacco from CVS won't stop people from buying cigs elsewhere.

I know people will go to New Hampshire to stock up on cigarettes at WalMart , I would see a long line of people waiting to buy cartons of cigarettes and on carton cost more than $20 .00 :shock: What a waste of $$$!

No, it wasn't virus - it is vaccine to stabilize her neck because her neck was hurt when turn a lot. Those require general anesthesia.

That same carton here in Chicago costs $75+. People go to Northwest IN all the time to stock up, and they're not supposed to.
 
Vaccine means a vital that prevents somebody from getting specific virus attack, not pain management. I never heard vaccine as pain management. Better ask doctor, or google up and you will see what it really means. For example vaccine against HIV is still in work, once they found a vaccine for this virus, will stop HIV virus from spread in one's body.

Same here, we got Indian reservations about 45 minutes from here, they sell tax free fags which is much cheaper than stores here locally.

Chicago has one of the highest cigarette taxes in this country, and nobody wants to pay it.
 
They probably need the public exposure. Have you seen how many Walgreens have set up shop right by a CVS? Walgreens is trying to shut them down. Anyway, back to the publicity, and them needing it, they may want to spin this so it sounds like they're doing something healthy, and thereby attracting customers. But that's spin, it might actually cost them more $$ than they make in them in licensing, fines, and I wonder how much if their stock expires and has to be trashed. Smokers buy their cigs at the gas station. I can count on one hand how many times I bought smokes at a pharmacy, and I smoked for 21 years. They cost more there. Hell gas stations are cheaper than Walmart for cigs.
