Illicit tobacco and vapes sold on the black market linked to organised crime are causing huge risk to communities.
According to new research by JTI , nearly half the UK is currently aware of stores illegally selling illicit tobacco and vapes . The vast majority of Brits believe the cost of living crisis is driving people who smoke or vape to seek out cheaper, illegal alternatives - in a vicious circle that drives organised crime, impacting local communities.
A generational ban takes away the rights of adult consumers and will likely fan the flames of illicit tobacco activity across the UK. “In the UK the illegal tobacco trade is thriving, with 11% of cigarettes and 35% of rolling tobacco smuggled into the UK in 2021/22 according to HMRC. The prohibition of legal products always has dangerous side effects and opens the door to criminal gangs to sell illegal products, as witnessed in South Africa in 2020, following a temporary ban on tobacco products.
