This article mainly discusses that “CVS Caremark, the country’s largest drugstore chain in overall sales” is going to carry out the cessation of tobacco business plan to keep the municipalities from the diseases, which are linked to smoking. This plan’s starting point is good for citizen, especially for the teenagers’ health that is called “social responsibility of business” in the preparation article. Although CVS stopped selling the to tobaccos will decrease the profits they made and influence the incidental items, CVS can begin to offer “clients like insurance plans and companies” which assisted CVS to make up the revenue the lost in the cessation of tobacco business. This point is exactly what the writer talked about in the “social responsibility of business”. On the one hand all the stockholders in CVS can get profits in another better ways, on the other hand, this plan can also protect citizen’s health. In other words, CVS maximized the profits for shareholders, while benefiting municipalities and the whole society (decreased the number of smokers), all the stakeholders can get advantage from it.
