Sale of smuggled cigarette causing billions of rupees loss to kitty
The sale of smuggled cigarettes has reached alarming proportion, inflicting a loss of over Rs20 billion to the national kitty annually. Sources said that multinational cigarette manufacturers have hired the help of Nielsen, an internationally reputed market research company, to produce a “doctored report” which was a gross misrepresentation of facts and against local manufacturers of tobacco products. The report mentions little or nothing about smuggled cigarettes being sold in Pakistan.
