See A Need, Fill A Need*

Cigarette smuggling into Britain is becoming so lucrative that growing numbers of young women are being offered free summer holidays by criminals in return for trafficking tobacco.
I wonder why that is?
Smugglers usually sell packets of 20 for about £3 – half the price of legitimate cigarettes in Britain, which a Treasury survey confirms as the most expensive in Europe.
Oh right.
"We are determined to eradicate tobacco smuggling and its devastating impact on our communities," a UK Border Agency source said.
Working so far with the 'War on Drugs' so good luck with that and in the meantime lose millions of pounds to the exchequer.
