Smokers warned of dangers of black market tobacco
Rotherham Council is warning people of the dangers of smoking black market cigarettes following a crackdown in Rotherham.
***
Among the items seized were packets of the Russian made “Jin Ling” cigarettes – which cannot be legally sold anywhere in the UK.
Previous testing of this product has found the cigarettes are dangerous because they do not go out when they are not actively being smoked and continue to burn.
