"You Will Get Caught"

Smoking cigarettes isn't just bad for your health, it's bad for your wallet as well. A new study shows the cost beyond just that pack a day.

Talk about a silver lining! During a pandemic that is mainly known for affecting a person's respiratory system, people are quitting smoking in record numbers!

Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently signed a bill into law raising the minimum age to 21 to purchase tobacco products within the State Of Texas.

Texans who smoke will spend over a million dollars in a lifetime on the habit. Non-smokers are richer than they thought!

In an unprecedented move, CVS Pharmacy announced it will no longer carry tobacco products or cigarettes in its more than 7,600 stores, including those right here in East Texas. The company made the announcement Wednesday morning, saying by Oct. 1, they'll no longer sell the products. This marks the first major national retail chain to pull these products off of their shelves.
