Portuguese term or phrase: bocas de fumo
O estilo de vida abordado em Cidade de Deus, supracitado como “subumano”, explica-se pela precariedade do espaço físico, pela natureza que a cada cena vai cedendo lugar a tijolos quebrados, a vidros rachados, às manchas de sangue entre as estreitas ruelas que interligam o mercado financeiro da favela, ou seja, as bocas de fumo, as quais sustentam o narcotráfico.

O que quer dizer isto? Obrigada
