The Talking TradesmanWe all know how this works on building sites. Someone turns up selling something cheap, word gets around, and before long everyone knows who to go to. And with illegal tobacco, it can be easy to look at it as nothing more than getting cigarettes a bit cheaper. But there’s a much bigger picture behind it. The money doesn’t just disappear. The illegal tobacco trade supports organised crime and those criminal networks can be involved in much more serious offences. There’s another side to it as well. When illegal tobacco is being sold cheaply within communities, it can make tobacco easier for children and young people to access. So if someone offers you tobacco at a price that seems too good to be true, maybe ask yourself a couple of questions: Who’s actually making money from this? Where’s that money going? And what are you helping to support? Because saving a few quid might not seem like a big deal — but there can be a much bigger picture behind it.” AD #ad #construction #tradielife #tradesman #uktrades
