According to the article, former marijuana pushers make between $100 and $150 per day selling Marlboros and Newports in Harlem. ‘A lot of people who were selling pot or heroin are now selling cigarettes. You can make the same amount of money, and you don’t get locked away as long,’ an unidentified 25-year-old was quoted as saying in the Times.”
