To sell to minors...?
Gangs run cigarettes to avoid State taxes, not to deal to minors. And most proposals to legalize MJ prominently discuss taxing it and all the revenue that could be put to use doing great things.
Run a trailer full of cigarettes from NC to NYC. The profit margin would be large.
There's a world of difference between a 15% excise tax on pot and the nearly 6 dollars per pack New York charges in taxes.
The fact that new York is so entirely upside down on, charging a nearly 150% tax on cigarettes and creating a lucrative black market, does not make a compelling argument.
