| September 21 | Tackling illicit tobacco: a Scottish summit for healthier, safer communities | Do you agree that the availability of cheap illicit tobacco undermines government public health policy as well as being an evasion of excise duty?
Do you think that communities are made less safe because of the activities of organised criminals who trade in tobacco along with other counterfeit and smuggled goods, drugs and alcohol? Community, education and health care organisations could give HMRC, police and trading standards a real edge in the fight against organised crime. Communities have an important role to play in preventing unregulated illicit traders selling cigarettes to our children. This summit will provide a valuable update on the strides made by enforcement agencies in reducing the illegal sale of smuggled and non-duty paid tobacco and offers an opportunity to put forward bold ideas that will empower local communities to act against the traffickers. | Perth | ASH Scotland | Event flyer and further information |
