Counterfeit cigarettes

[Dubbed Squirrel]

Just seen on the News, that 1 in 5 cigarettes smoked in Britain today are counterfeit and is causing the Government millions in lost revenue. The government blame organised crime, can`t help thinking given the recent and future austerity measures, aren`t they one and the same?
