Fake cigarettes laced with deadly byproduct of nuclear explosions feared to be bound for Scotland

And a senior UK Customs detective said: “If that product is on the market, chances are it could end up here.” Britain is a prime target for tobacco smugglers partly because of our tax on cigarettes, which is among the highest in Europe.
