News update # 7
Research conducted by the Retailers Against Smuggling pressure group says 36% of retailers had considered reducing staff and 38% had considered closing shop after losing revenue to illegal tobacco peddlers. Also, approximately 40% had been offered to purchase illegal and fake cigarettes for their business. In the U.K cigarettes are smuggled in from Latvia (cigarettes cost a fraction of the price they do in the U.K); similarly illegal tobacco products are smuggled in to the U.S from Mexico. The sell of illegal cigarettes has sky rocketed in the last few years in response to high taxation.
