To report someone selling illegal fags?

[callmeovercautious]

Where children could buy them?

[TomHardysPinky]

is it the ice cream van?

ours sells fags and weed.

[sukysue]

report them rotten tax dodgers.

[JoanByers]

yep, no different from drug dealers selling weed to little kids I'm afraid.

[Wallison]

Mmmm, lovely strong fags ...

[Wallison]

Yes, because all drug dealers sell weed to little kids. Can hardly move for them at the school gates sometimes.

[GrowSomeCress]

Yeah, report them.


I don't see why you're getting so many YABUs. Who gives a shit whether it's your business or not?! If I walked past a person bleeding to death that would also be none of my business, but I'd intervene anyway.

[JoanByers]

I don't think they care who they sell weed/fags to.

was never any problem getting either when I was at school anyway.

[Lilithmoon]

What Maryz said (much better than I would have).

[GrowSomeCress]

I also agree with Maryz

[RebeccaMumsnet]

[usualsuspect]

Nasty cough you have there Rebecca, is it all the fag smoke in here?

[CheCazzo]

@ usual

[GrowSomeCress]

aside from the whole selling to children and the tax evasion (which mn bleats about when it comes to businesses) things like this make money for organised crime and that brings with it things like violence, murder and sex trafficking

but of course you should report because it would make you a snitch

OP it is absolutely fine to report it, please don't let people on this thread put you off

[Wallison]

Must be all of those dangerous forrin cigs she's puffing away on.

I, on the other hand, only smoke Safety Fags.

[NumericalMum]

Ok so just to clarify - rich people, Starbucks, Amazon etc all horrible tax dodging evil people... selling illegally imported fags that haven't been subject to tax and import duty is fine.

I do think MN is a parallel universe sometimes.

[Bobbybird40]

GSC you are being a drama queen banging on about sex trafficking etc, this is probably just some bloke whose brought a few boxes over from Eastern Europe and is flogging em down his local. Big deal. OP it's obviously your call but if you do snitch you'll probably be looking over your shoulder for weeks afterwards.

[WorraLiberty]

How on God's earth was CheCazzo's comment racist in any way shape or form OP?

If anyone's comment could be taken that way, it was your reply to her!

[Wallison]

I think the point about murder is pretty much bang on though. I could kill for a fag right now, for eg.

[JoanByers]

a few boxes?

Each pack of fags is about £6 in tax, so one carton of fags is equivalent to a week's JSA.

If you don't want to pay the going rate for fags, then don't smoke.

[GrowSomeCress]

Bobbybird are you kidding me? the triad made millions from doing this kind of thing in scotland


tell people being murdered and trafficked that i am being a drama queen for thinking that supporting the activities causing them harm are wrong

[GrowSomeCress]

but of course if it helps people get fags a bit cheaper then it's all okay clearly

[LouMae]

As thegovt keeps pushing up the price, and people have less money, the black market will just grow and grow.
