Good point they regarded gambling as a "harmless vice," Wouldn't all that change when he agreed to provide political protection for "a dirty business," That's why Vito said no to Sol initially- that his "friends in politics wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs." The novel provides more detail: Sol said at the meeting that he'd use operatives with clean records "so it will be logical for judges to give light sentences." And, after the Commission meeting, Vito told Tom that if the families used "real snowbirds" (meaning guys with drugs arrests) "we'll throw up our hands and say there's nothing we can do" (or some words to that effect). IMO, both Sol and Vito were deluding themselves about drug operatives with "clean records" --greed trumps restraint and common sense every time Right again! Turnbull The Underestimating, Overestimating, Delusions, Greed trumping restraint, common sense and caution.... My only debating point - if I have not misunderstood - it didn't seem Vito was greedy for the narcotics money It seems to me Vito was restrained and exercised common sense and said no to Sollozzo initially because among others - - Vito may have felt he didn't need "a dirty business," money - too much hassle
- concern of his "friends in politics wouldn't be friendly very long if they knew my business was drugs."
Vito, later, backed into a corner, having to bring Michael back to US safely was forced to 'barter' and reverse his original no, provided his “police/political protection” for the drugs trade Movie - after the Commission meeting Tom: When I meet with the Tattaglia people, should I insist that all his drug middlemen have clean records? Vito: Mention it -- don't insist Barzini is a man who'll know that without being told

I reckon the other factor to consider is complacency which resulted in these people slippin'
Vito was sitting pretty having made loads of money, with influence and power as Top Don I agree he didn't need the hassle of "a dirty business," money
The slippin' Vito failed to see, Tattaglia and Sollozzo still climbing up the pecking order ladder, hungry for money and power, wouldn't just walk away from millions, $10M estimated, in just the first year alone
He suspected there was more to what Sollozzo was telling him, yet never occurred to him the possibility of a hit Ten years ago could they have gotten to him?
