It will cost them at least $2 billion up front; however, long term you

Personally, I have frequently found it strange that pharmacies have/had
such huge cigarette displays (I sensed a "conflict of interest").
And crappy prices too! They apparently cater to people who are
price-indifferent.

Conflict? They get you coming and going - profit at both ends of your
health. How is that a conflict?
