So I generally agree with all these opinions but… I was talking about cigarettes? Also “vice” in the meaning of a bad habit, not the drug squad.

    Again I fully agree on the broad points but felt a little bit like shoehorning an only slightly related topic in. But meh, awareness of those topics could probably stand to be higher anyway

    They killed him for daring to thumb his nose at the authority of the state by being a bootlegger. Cigarettes just happen to be what he sold. At the end of the day this is the kind of random violence that backs up every mundane law.
