Most illegal tobacco is smuggled into the UK from Eastern Europe and the Far East. It is then sold in our communities through car boot sales, 'fag' or 'tab' houses, and even under-the-counter at tanning salons and ice-cream vans.
Counterfeit cigarette-manufacturing operations - factories that produce fake fags - have even been discovered right here in the UK.
