Rite Aid is a national chain of drugstores with over 8,000 stores in the United States. Although Rite Aid does not sell cigarettes, the company does sell other tobacco products, including cigars, hookahs, and e-cigarettes. Rite Aid has been vocal about its opposition to tobacco use, and has made efforts to reduce its sales of tobacco products. In March 2018, Rite Aid announced that it would stop selling any tobacco products in its stores by the end of the year.
This move is in line with the company’s goal of being tobacco-free by 2020. Rite Aid is one of the largest retailers of e-cigarettes in the United States, and the company has stated that it plans to continue to sell e-cigarettes despite its decision to stop selling tobacco products.
