Corner shop owners know illegal tobacco is being sold
A new survey has found that more than half of corner shop owners (57 per cent) are aware of smuggled/counterfeit products being sold in their area.
Alarmingly, 73 per cent of retailers believe that smuggling/cross border purchases will increase in the next 12 months. This coincides with the introduction of regulations from the EU which will ban the sale of cigarette packs of less than 20 and packs under 30g of hand rolling tobacco.
