No More Cigarette
Officially we are out of cigarette business now. Sin Tax bill is a great equalizer for those who would like their business to be more socially responsible in selling real goods. Say we wouldn't be selling cigarettes anymore, would our customers needing it still be buying from us? Yes at least maybe 70% of the time unlike when the sin tax bill isn't yet signed. What's the reason. The reason our customers who need cigarette will still buy from us is that they will be able to avoid buying costly cigarettes because we don't sell any of it anymore. Would they still prefer to buy from other stores who have cigarettes just in case they decide to splurge? They will. But when the pockets are already emptied, they will realize that it's not worth it. We will loose some of them, but God willing, gain some of those who would like to avoid buying high priced cigarettes.
