No buying cigarettes at #1 rated supermarket chain

It's going to be harder to even find a place to buy cigarettes in New York State as a report in the Buffalo News reports that Wegmans Markets, the #1 rated supermarket chain in the US, will stop selling tobacco productsis stamping out sales of cigarettes and other tobacco products at its supermarkets, becoming the first grocery chain in New York State to do so.
The Rochester-based company, which has 10 stores in Erie and Niagara counties, announced it will halt tobacco sales effective Feb. 10. Wegmans will continue to sell tobacco products until then, but will not replenish its inventory.
“It will now be a matter of how other businesses respond to what [Wegmans] decided to do,” said Rebecca Marion, a council spokeswoman. Target Corp., based in Minnesota, halted cigarette sales back in 1996.
