Chapter Presentation: "Trends and Challenges in Combating Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products in the U.S."

Description

In a three-year study, experts in criminology and comparative law, from Utrecht University and countries across the EU, have analysed the organisation of the illicit trade in tobacco products and how different EU countries legally address the problem.

They aimed to identify obstacles to effective and optimal enforcement, and to provide recommendations on how to overcome them. "There is plethora of laws and agencies dealing with illicit tobacco trade, but two kinds of problems – nationally, a lack of resources; internationally, flawed cooperation – limit their impact", conclude researchers Dr. Stanisław Tosza external link and Professor John Vervaele external link (editors of the resulting book).

The results of this project were presented at the conference on 20-21 June 2022 in Utrecht, including the chapter written by myself and Stanislaw Tosza, titled: "Trends and Challenges in Combating Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products in the U.S.".
