Many of the guys who used to sell drugs are now selling cigarettes bought from other states. They make less per dosed, but it's a legal drug and at worst, they get nailed for tax evasion, which is nothing like drug possession. Also, the cigarette market dwarfs the drug market, so they do make it up in volume.

I just got back from the United Kingdom where a pack of Marlboros was about £8 or thirteen bucks. And everyone smoked!
