How can it be stopped?
Selling tobacco on the cheap is not a ‘Robin Hood’ crime; those behind it are serious organised criminal gangs whose interests don’t often stop at cigarettes.
This activity needs to be tackled but criminal gangs are well organised and difficult to catch out. Those with the power to crack down on criminal activity need your help; local communities can provide crucial information and intelligence.
If you have bought fake cigarettes or simply suspect illegal tobacco sales are taking place it is vital that you report your concerns.
