Campaign to target illegal tobacco trade
Trade in illegal tobacco available at ‘pocket money prices’ is the target of a county-wide campaign. The East Sussex Tobacco Partnership is launching the campaign to highlight the dangers of illegal tobacco and target those involved in its supply. Illegal tobacco is available in various places in the community including the workplace, private homes, pubs, markets, car boot sales and on the street.
The UK Border Agency averages more than one million counterfeit cigarette seizures per day. Low costs of production and high levels of demand make illicit cigarettes one of the world’s most illegally trafficked goods.
