CVS estimated that it would lose about $2 billion dollars in sales from customers that enter the store to buy cigarettes and tobacco products.
Ashley Hrabe, a junior from Salina, is the founder of Breathe Easy At KU (BEAK), an organization that "promotes a healthy environment for all through a tobacco-free KU."
