CVS Health will leave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over the chamber’s decision to fight foreign anti-smoking regulations. The chamber is opposing bans on graphic packaging warning of the dangers of cigarettes and smoking in public places.
In a statement, CVS Health explained its decision: “It was the right thing to do for the health and well-being of our customers. (The company’s) purpose is to help people on their path to better health, and we fundamentally believe tobacco use is in direct conflict with this purpose.”
