Illicit trade is a serious issue in Poland, where the growth of counterfeit tobacco products in particular has become a major concern.

Our Polish business has linked up with an online trading website to help raise awareness of the issue of illicit tobacco sales.

Striking red warning signs will appear on the website's various online trading sites warning users against purchasing counterfeit tobacco.

The campaign forms part of the wider ‘Stop Counterfeit Tobacco' initiative in Poland launched 12 months ago.

Joanna Grabowska, Corporate Affairs Manager Poland, said: "Illegal production is an increasingly serious problem for both the legal tobacco manufacturers losing sales and the Government losing tax revenue.

"According to the latest figures we have obtained, 40 illegal cigarette production sites have been discovered in Poland since 2004."
