San Francisco Bars Sale of Cigarettes in Pharmacies
---------------------------------------------------



In health news, a new San Francisco law has prohibited the sale of
cigarettes in pharmacies. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said,
“Pharmacies should be places where people go to get better, not where
people go to get cancer.” Walgreens and Philip Morris have filed
lawsuits against the ban.
