Fake cigarettes on rise in Kerala.
Kochi: Sale and consumption of fake cigarettes are increasing alarmingly in Kerala. It is learned that these fake cigarettes are being sold in the state as Chinese cigarettes.
“The fake cigarettes are transported to Tamil Nadu through ships from Sri Lanka and Malaysia. From Tamil Nadu, it is taken to Kerala. The fake cigarettes are transported to Ernakulam via Idukki and collected at a godown in Perumbavoor,” reported excise officials.
Sale of fake cigarettes without paying the tax incurs huge revenue loss to the state government. At the same time, use of these cigarettes will lead to serious health issues too.
