Details

‘Stubbing out the problem: A new strategy to tackle illicit tobacco` sets out our commitment to reduce demand for illicit tobacco, and to tackle and disrupt the organised crime gangs behind the illicit tobacco market.

This builds on the previous strategy, published in 2015: Tackling Illicit tobacco: From leaf to light to address and adapt to the evolving landscape of tobacco fraud effectively.  

It is backed by additional funding of more than £100 million across 5 years and will support the UK government’s goal to create the first smokefree generation.
