How things have changed thanks to the nanny state
I HAD to smile at the headline ‘Investigators smoking out smuggled tobacco’ March 26. I can only hope they have more success than their predecessors of the 1980s. As a small local cigarette vending company owner in Derby Street and dealing with many well known pubs and clubs in the Bolton area, it became apparent that cigarette and hand rolling tobacco smuggling was becoming an increasing problem to the Revenue.
The VAT and Revenue furnished many legitimate tobacco and alcohol wholesalers and retails with an information telephone number to report any suspicions of any pubs or clubs selling such products under the counter.
