The biggest threat to tobacco revenue is not compliance by legal businesses—it is the unchecked growth of illegal cigarette trade. Pakistan cannot afford to lose hundreds of billions in taxes while tax evaders continue operating outside the system. #DontProtectTaxEvaders

Discussions around tobacco taxation should not distract from the larger issue: illegal cigarette trade depriving the country of billions in revenue that could support public services and development. #DontProtectTaxEvaders
