Walgreens vs. Board of Supervisors: Smoke 'Em If You've Got 'Em
Plug 1 from WhatImSeeing (he seems to be everywhere all at once!) sent us this image today after he picked up a pack of cool, smooth, refreshing Parliament Lights. It seems Walgreens, a chain that can do no wrong in our eyes, is handing out these flyers when you buy cigs today. Check it:
ATTENTION WALGREENS CUSTOMERSThe San Francisco Board of Supervisors is proposing an ordinance that unfairly targets Rite Aid and Walgreens, preventing ONLY them from selling tobacco products.
Please contact the Board of Supervisors and tell them:
This proposal will make it less convenient for you to shop for all your needs in one location in your neighborhood, while limiting your access to legally available products.
The proposal will force smokers to liquor stores, tobacco shops, gas stations or other retailers that don’t carry smoking cessation production and don’t have pharmacists available for advice on quitting. [Chortle. -- SFist]
Please let the SF Board of Supervisors know that this ordinance is unwanted, unfair and punitive to smokers.
Contact the Board Immediately at (415) 554-5184 or email at board.of.supervisors@sfgov.org.
