Back in November, I discovered that Pope Francis has decided to end cheap cigarettes. He said that it was going to be next year. The sales had been profitable for the Vatican as well. He said, but “no profit can be legitimate if it puts lives at risk.” Selling discounted tobacco to employees and pensioners, without the increasingly stringent taxes imposed in surrounding Italy, has long been a source of revenue for the tiny Vatican City State. Many people in Rome have bought cigarettes through acquaintances at the Vatican.
