UNTAXED cigarettes because the city was losing $1.60 a pack in revenue? This death was a result of that crackdown. But he is allowed to pontificate without being hit by any political tomatoes. Amazing

Vilhelm is certainly responsible for the the high taxes on cigarettes. but it was the citizen merchants who didn't want fatso selling in front of their stores.

I once watched a documentary on cigarettes in NYC.

Counterfeit cigarette cartons, cartons from the Reservations, out-of-state, etc. that does seem to be a revenue problem.

In short, there is a black market apparently there.
