Résumé : | Smuggled tobacco accounts for a sizeable proportion of consumption in the United Kingdom. Despite this, the UK dropped public targets for reducing tobacco smuggling in March this year. Responsibility for border controls is being passed from Her Majestys Revenue and Customs to the new Border Agency, which has been asked to publish a strategy for tackling smuggling before this years prebudget report. We present figures highlighting the serious effects of tobacco smuggling and suggest that the strategy should increase the effort and resources dedicated to reducing it.
