Illegal tobacco is becoming a national problem. Criminal gangs target vulnerable people by selling cigarettes and hand rolled tobacco at reduced prices. Illicit tobacco has been found across the county by Surrey County Council Trading Standards.

The cigarettes are likely to be sold at small shops, street sellers, car boots sales, ice cream values or at places of work. If cigarettes are being offered cheaply, chances are they are illegal.

Fight for a clean community

Smoking illegal tobacco increases the risks to your health. These illegal products are uncontrolled and can contain very high levels of tar, nicotine, lead and many other dangerous chemicals and contaminants. In some cases they have been found to contain rat droppings or even asbestos.

Fight to make sure your community is safe and clean.
