Health threatened by tobacco products

To the editor:
Tobacco products still threaten the health of millions around the world whether they smoke or not.
Let's pursue the problem closer to home. For instance, Walgreens sells dangerous cancer-causing products. The surgeon general says these products are a significant risk to all Americans using them. However, Walgreens continues to sell these life threatening products at one side of the store which reflects the drugs sold at the other side of the store.
Talk about hypocrites, Walgreens' management should change their slogan to 'At the Corner of Happy and Greedy.” Shame on Walgreens, they should develop a spine and stop selling these life-threatening products.
