Dramatic rise in counterfeit cigarette sales in Ukraine

Following a special operation in Ukraine, sales of counterfeit cigarettes have significantly increased.

Philip Morris, British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco, and Japan Tobacco Corporation have taken note of the growth of the illegal market. "Most importantly, we are concerned that counterfeit world brand products are starting to appear on an industrial scale. Throughout the entire period of Ukraine's independence, we have never seen such a situation," said Philip Morris.

According to the Imperial Tobacco Company, the majority of illegal cigarettes are being sold in the areas of Dnipro, Poltava, Zaporizhia, Vinnytsia, Lviv, and Kiev.
