Illegal Tobacco. What's the Real Cost?

WE ALL LOVE A GOOD DEAL, BUT CHEAP TOBACCO IS COSTING MORE THAN YOU MIGHT BARGAIN FOR. HERE'S WHY...

Far from being a victimless crime, the illegal tobacco trade makes it easier for children to start smoking, takes advantage of cash-strapped families, and helps fund organised crime. People selling cheap, illegal tobacco at pocket-money prices are likely to be selling other things illegally (drugs, fake branded goods and alcohol), exposing our children to more dangers.
