LOOSIE
In the United States, a loosie (or loosey) is a single cigarette that is purchased or sold.
In the United States, cigarettes are required to be sold in quantities of no less than 20. The FDA is concerned that loose cigarettes may be sold more often to children. Loosies are commonly found in low-income areas. The high cost of cigarettes due to increased taxation has been blamed for increased sales of loosies.
In 2014, Eric Garner was killed when NYPD officers attempted to arrest him for allegedly selling loosies.
