RNZ recently conducted an investigation into sales of illicit tobacco in Aotearoa New Zealand, finding an increasing sale throughout the country. The investigation described illicit tobacco as an open secret, with many dairies now stocking and imported cigarettes and indicated an increase in both supply and demand.

Professor Chris Bullen, Professor of Public Health in the Department of General Practice and Primary Care at the School of Population Health of the University of Auckland has refuted the claims made in the RNZ investigation and Flo spoke to him about his research into the illegal tobacco market.
