Port St. Joe SWAT recognizes CVS for ending tobacco sales



On April 4, 2014 the Port St. Joe SWAT Executive Board held a presentation ceremony recognizing CVS Store #5246 for their decision to discontinue the sale of tobacco products in an effort to improve the health of Gulf County. 

“I want to congratulate CVS Caremark for today’s bold decision that will lead to better health.  Removing cigarettes from their more than 700 locations in Florida is welcome news for the families and communities of our state. I urge other retailers to follow suit and invest in the long term health of their customers and employees in Florida.”- Dr. John Armstrong, State Surgeon General and Secretary of the Florida Department of Health.
