“Where There’s Smoke, There’s Tobacco, Firearms, or Explosives”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives says investigations of cigarette smuggling by violent gangs have increased sharply is states that have increased tobacco taxes.  The gangs are excited because, just like the guns they are used to, cigarettes kill people.

Also, a lot of gang members smoke, so they can give themselves a discount.

If the ATF catches any of these gangs, the standard punishment is to make them smoke a whole carton so they learn a lesson.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is a division of the government’s Department of Smoke and Mirrors.
