I heard that this morning as well.
I wonder how much that may impact Lane and Missouri Meerschaum.
Christie Hefner was the guest host on one of my Bloomberg Business shows this morning. They asked her about this, and she had some intelligent comments.
"When you substitute your judgement for your customer's judgement, where do you stop? Do you stop selling candy? Some people don't like that they sell condoms ... (what about that?)"

They never had crap for tobacco anyways. I always shop Rite-Aid for tobacco, especially as I live across the street from one. Every Rite-Aid I've been to had plenty of Carter Hall, Prince Albert, among several other OTC's, pipe cleaners, Grabow's, etc...
Hereabouts, drugstores and the big discount stores and groceries handle no pipe tobacco, only cigarettes. One of the drugstore
chains used to carry a few Dr. Grabow pipes, but no more. So this does not represent any change to what I am used
to. My stereotype is that cigarettes are a nicotine delivery system, whereas tobacco pipes are much more an option,
most often used in moderation. The studies on pipe smoking seem vague and inconclusive. Maybe it's just as bad
as the nails, but obviously I don't think so. When I am busy and never make it to my pipes, I don't notice. But then
again, I may be unusual in that way. I don't wish illness on anyone, myself included. With a heroine epidemic, a tirade
against pipe smoking would seem misdirected.

Oops. Already being discussed earlier here.
