Smuggled cigarettes account for third of packs sold here
Cigarettes smuggled into the country by organised crime and terror gangs now account for up to a third of all tobacco products sold in the Republic – costing the Exchequer hundreds of millions in lost revenue each year. An “empty pack survey”, which examined discarded cigarette packs in 10 towns and cities across the country last year, found that between 25pc and 32pc were illegal. As part of the survey, funded by the world’s four largest tobacco manufacturers, a market research agency randomly collected empty packs from streets and easy access bins.
