✅ Europe's 130,000 tobacconists operate under strict state contracts, collect tax revenue, and verify buyers' ages.
❌ The illicit market does none of this. Yet it is the legal retailers whose livelihoods are being destroyed.

Congratulations to @KayaSerdar1(34), the newly elected President of the French #Tobacconists Confederation! Elected at the Paris congress, his goal is clear: unite, conquer, and innovate. @theCedt stands ready to support him in tackling the network's key challenges.
@theCedt était présente au congrès des #buralistes français á Paris pour l’élection du nouveau président de la Confédération : 👏 Serdar Kaya, 34 ans, élu avec une volonté forte de fédérer, conquérir et innover. La CEDT lui adresse son soutien pour relever les défis du réseau.
The CEDT President, with @ManfredMarchese, joined the UNITAB Congress, giving voice to #EU tobacconists. Strong cooperation with #tobacco growers confirmed — the two most vulnerable yet essential actors in the tobacco value chain.

SPAIN: #UNIONESTANQUEROS STRONGLY OPPOSE ANTI-SMOKING DRAFT LAW
🚭Spain’s "#tobacconists slam draft #antismoking law for treating all #nicotine products the same. They reject the terrace ban & back harm reduction. No plain packs? A win vs illicit trade.

Hongrie : 20 % des cigarettes vendues illégalement. Enquête (7 200+) : 12 % achats seulement via sources illégales/étrangères. Raisons : indisponibilité (24 %), prix (22 %). 9 % achats online (40 % dû au manque de NGP). Pour 82 % c'est normal d'acheter au marché noir.
#Hungary : #cigarettes 20% sold illegally. Survey (7,200+): 12% buy only from illegal/foreign sources. Why? unavailability (24%), high prices (22%). 9% buy online (40% cite unvailable NGP). 82% don’t see it as wrong. Most switch to cheaper brands, not quitting.#tobaccoblackmarket
Today’s meeting between the CEDT President, Mr. Schweinschwaller, with Mr. Hauser, Member of the European #Parliament.
A very interesting exchange about the voice of #European small local #retailers in #Brussels.
Thank you Mr. Hauser!
