ITALY. Naples. 1948. Angela sells cigarettes which she gets from the Black Market, to people at the cafes. Most of the American cigarettes are skilfully prepared in Naples from old butts, wrapped in old cartons. She charges 250 lira per pack; the official price is 350 lira. Most of her sales are single cigarettes at about 15 lira. The Government is prosecuting the vendors of Black Market cigarettes in Rome, because they undercut the legal price of the Italian tobacco monopoly, but in Naples the vendors go about openly.
