curious george | What would happen if Wal-Mart stopped selling smoking products? |
What do you think would happen if Wal-Mart didn't sell cigarettes and other smoking products? Do you think other stores might do the same? What are your thoughts? |

I often thought of this myself. The tobacco industry has really taken some hits in the last couple years. It’s a tough market with the high prices due to taxes and the hassle of abiding by the regulations of trying to keep the products out of the hands of minors. I'm not sure of the numbers in sales for Wal-Mart but I do know that the markup on cigarettes is usually less than 8%. With that said I don't think any retailer is really making a killing by selling tobacco products.
I don't know Wal-Mart's market share on retailing tobacco, but with all the outlets out there I don't think it's strong enough to say they have any control. I would say the smaller stores like local gas stations and even drug stores like Walgreens and CVS have a greater impact on the tobacco market. Then again if Wal-Mart took the first step, others may follow.
Instead of banning tobacco the government has just been making it harder to sell which could cause retailers to stop selling altogether |

In canada they dont and never have sold smoking items.
Its just a little more money for the other stores.
By the way, you dont make hardly ANY money on cigarettes, you only make like a 11 percent profit. You have to count on the OTHER Items the buyer will grab on a whim when purchasing smokes. |

Probably not a whole lot....most people buy cigarettes at Wal-Mart out of convenience, its not something they go to the store to buy. We don't have a corporate competition pricing stategy on our pricing with these products as we do with almost everything else in the store, which is why you will generally find tobacco products much cheaper (depending on the market can be upwards of 2 dollars) at your local convenience store. |
