Abstract
Until about 10 years ago, most cigarettes sold on black markets worldwide originated from legal sources. Major tobacco manufacturers were accused of wittingly or unwittingly supplying smugglers on a grand scale. Since then, under pressure from various governments, the tobacco industry has apparently become much more careful in choosing customers down the chain of distribution, leaving a void on the black market to be filled by counterfeit cigarettes. One country is frequently mentioned in this context: China.
