We have moved from alcohol to cigarettes. Advertising on the packaging indicates such products damage health and there are now pictures to illustrate that. People from the tobacco industry indicated that the volume of cigarettes sold illegally for consumption is now huge. Do the witnesses have updated figures? From every ten cigarettes smoked, how many are smuggled and how many are bought in ordinary shops?
