The same reason anyone would smuggle goods; they want to make a profit or to use those goods, but aren't actually allowed to by law.
Yes. Jamestown's economy was based almost exclusively on producing and exporting tobacco. Tobacco was a VERY labour-intensive crop that needed care almost year round. The English quickly found out that in order to grow enough tobacco to make a profit, they had to get a LOT more people to work for them. They tried to enslave the Native Americans, but they were very sensitive to European disease and they knew they terrain very well and could easily escape. This made them poor candidates for the job the colonists had in mind. Instead, Jamestown turned to the cheapest form of labour it could find; African slaves. They slaves were put to work in the tobacco fields, and, with their help, Jamestown was able to export HUGE amounts of tobacco. Without the use of African Slaves, the colonists of Jamestown wouldn't have been able to produce enough tobacco to make a profit and the colony probably would've failed.

Yes, that is how a lot of businesses make a profit
The opportunity to make money was one of the primary motivators for the colonization of the New World. The Virginia Company of London established the Jamestown colony to make a profit for its investors.
Glass blowing was important in colonial life because in Jamestown's first glasshouse, they were able to make glass bottles and ship them cheaply back to England for profit.
The men of Jamestown were sent by investors to make them a profit and not claim land or settle. It was by accident that it was a success. The 104 men who arrived died of diseases and starvation. Within 6 months only 34 men were alive. If it hadn't been for the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe the colony may have not succeeded at all. Tobacco saved Jamestown.
