  So to address people firebombing legal tobacco shops…

  The government is cracking down on illegal shops?

  I don’t understand how that’s gonna do anything, if anything it’s going to make the people bombing legal shops in residential neighborhoods think they’re in the right.

  Like tobacco is unhealthy, but so blowing up shit where people sleep

    The firebombing is not about government crackdown, it’s probably a protection racket, or extortion.

    A lot of “legal” tobacco shops also sell illegal tobacco.
